Description:The earth harbors almost 10 orders of magnitude more microbial 
 cells than there are stars in the universe. The human body harbors up to t
 en times as many microbial cells as human cells. We live in a microbial wo
 rld\, and there is no escaping how microbes in our environment and in our 
 bodies affect our lives every day. What are these microbes doing\, and wha
 t can they tell us about ourselves? I will highlight recent research and b
 ioinformatics tools from the Knight lab\, such as visualizations of rapid 
 microbial community change in C. Difficile patients as they are cured by f
 ecal transplants. I will talk about my research on the ancient gut microbi
 ome as well as on the postmortem microbiome. Can we use 1000-year-old feca
 l material (coprolites) to reconstruct a picture of our ancestral human gu
 t microbiome before the extensive use of antibiotics? What happens to our 
 microbes after death?  Can they be useful for forensic science?  Join me
  for a tour through recent microbiome research\, and find out about the ex
 citing information it is revealing. 4:00 pm
