Microbes are vital to life. They sculpt organs, defend against disease, bread down food, and strengthen the immune system. For most of human existence, microbes have been hidden, but current research has thrust them to the center of biology and heightened their importance in many life functions. This series is based on the best-selling book by Ed Yong.
