ChiTownBio is excited to talk about their second book selection for their book club. This time, they’ll be discussing “I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life” by science writer Ed Yong.
Ed is an amazing science communicator who is a journalist working for the Atlantic, but he has also been featured in National Geographic, the New Yorker, Wired, Nature, New Scientist, Scientific American, and many more. He’s won numerous awards on his writing, has been featured on Radio Lab, and has a widely watched TED talk.

Join them as they talk about his book as well as host a discussion on the implications of the human microbiome project, the effects of the bacteria on our everyday lives, and the quirks and eccentricities of life that grows on a level just small enough that we can’t see it.

If conversation is lively, allocate some extra time to visit a local bar or eatery!
