Are you getting the best microbes on offer? What are microbes anyway and why should we care? If you’ve ever heard of the term “microbiome” you probably relate it to gut health, but there’s so much more to it! It’s all around us, and in us, and affects our brains, immune systems, stress levels, and psychological state. Join us for this episode where we speak with Dr Jess Stanhope and Prof Phil Weinstein about how public health is effected by urban environments and the promising future for disease prevention and treatment in the reversal of global urban nature deprivation.   This podcast is supported by the Environment Institute https://www.adelaide.edu.au/environment/ at the University of Adelaide https://www.adelaide.edu.au.
