TEDxOMAHA Salon: Your microbes and you!

Fun facts. Did you know that the microbes that live in you, on you, and around you have a large impact on your health and the health of the environment? A healthy gut microbiome is important to help prevent conditions like obesity, diabetes, heart health and even mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. The microbes that live on your skin are as unique to you as your fingerprints, and they closely work with your immune system to keep you healthy. Just like the microbes living on you and in you, the ones living in your garden soil can help create a healthier environment for the plants to grow and insects to thrive. Dr. John Kyndt is inviting you to come explore the wonderful world of microbes and see some of the research he and the team have done on skin microbiomes and soil microbiomes, and learn to appreciate the importance of the microbial world that we all live in.

TEDxOmaha Salon Thursday August 29th starting at 6.00 p.m. at Kankeo, located at 1111 Jones Street, Omaha, NE 68102 - please enter via the library entrance door, which is on 12th St Street
