Interesting article in Smithsonian Magazine:
How the Microbiome Could Be the Key to New Cancer Treatments
It talks about some of the latest research around the gut biome and how having diverse gut flora can lead to better outcomes for cancer patients.
There’s a link to a TEDx talk on the subject, but also there’s a link to participate in the research by contributing a fecal sample. They’re offering a $50 Visa card and a T-shirt for study participants, but I would have given them my poop for free. Here’s the link for the study:
