I Contain Multitudes
США
Добавлен 9 авг 2016
Think “we” not “me.”
I Contain Multitudes offers a new lens on life. With an eye on microbes-microscopic single-celled organisms-larger creatures such as ourselves suddenly look very different. Each of us is a more of a society than an individual. Only about half the cells in or on our bodies are human. The rest make up a menagerie of microbes. Microbes produce chemicals and vitamins that we can’t produce on our own, they help digest food, shape development, and influence behavior.
Ed Yong, author of the New York Times bestseller I Contain Multitudes, has teamed up with HHMI Tangled Banks Studios for a series that explores the strange, wondrous, and vital realm of the microscopic. Meet scientists and the microbes that captivate them. Watch fascinating animal behavior that makes sense only in light of a microbial backstory. Discover how the living world that we see is shaped by an invisible world.
Our embrace of microbes, and theirs of us, is a pillar of life on Earth.

How Do Locusts Coordinate Their Swarm? | Microbe Minutes
Inside the gut of a locust is a powerful bacterial symbiont: a microbe that holds the key to coordinating the monstrous insect swarm. When the time is right, the microbe releases a chemical to help cue their insect host to take flight and head to greener pastures.

The Grain Weevil’s Bacterial Body Armor | Microbe Minute
Просмотров 7 тыс.6 лет назад
A grain weevil spends its early days nestled inside a cereal seed, but after it emerges into the world as an adult, the insect is in dire need of defenses. That credit goes to a microbial partner living inside the weevil’s gut, who produces the perfect chemicals to help build a sturdy, external skeleton.

Solving Crimes with the Necrobiome | I Contain Multitudes
Просмотров 87 тыс.6 лет назад
We can’t talk to the dead, but in their own way, the dead can speak to us. Death and decomposition is the beginning of new life for the many microbes that take over our bodies after we die: an environment known as the “necrobiome.” Jessica Metcalf, assistant professor at Colorado State University, studies these microbial communities and the activity that takes place in and around a corpse. She ...
Microbes from Mom: Vaginal Birth vs. C-Section
Просмотров 79 тыс.6 лет назад
Do you remember your first birthday present? No? Good, because it’s gross. Your first birthday present was actually the microbial bath you got if your mother delivered you vaginally-the beginning of your very own microbiome. But nearly a third of babies in the US are born through Caesarean section, which means they miss out on this microbial inoculation. Some researchers think this may lead to ...
Can a Fungus Save Plants from Global Warming? | I Contain Multitudes

It’s about time we put plants into the spotlight and focus on one of their most critical microbial partners: Fungi. Just like animals and humans, plants have their own microbiomes to help them stay healthy and provide them with nutrients. Some of these microbes are fungi that live inside the plant, and as new research is beginning to show, this symbiotic fungi can actually help certain plants d...

Blowfish are the pinnacle of marine defenses, but beneath the bloat and the spines lives another layer of protection: a neurotoxin strong enough to harm even humans.

Termites Digest Wood Thanks To Microbes | I Contain Multitudes
L’ upupa….un meraviglioso uccello che ho il dono di ammirare vicino casa mia. Gloria in eterno al suo CREATORE!!!!!!!
How do these social behavibours start? Like how do the termites know to lick each others bodies, like do they just grow up having urges or is it unknown?
what the point?
I am a C-section baby born @ 7 months. Always got sick, developed asthma, now have autoimmune disease.
Me and my 2 siblings are C-section baby but I am the only one who gets sick quickly huhuhh
Please add in endocrine disruptors to your videos.
Thanks
The background graphics were extremely distracting and not necessary for your presentation. I would simplify what's going on visually. It's hard to focus on your presentation with all that going on.
0:45 so kute :)))
Crazy how supplemental an vital microbes really are. Very fun and educational video!
Well, I wanna get a fecal microbiota transplant so I could enjoy the smell of the donor's poop.
its times like these where i wish i could just pull up a transcript, read it, and not have to watch the video so I can do my homework
I had twins, Im so lucky I was able to deliver them naturally even though they came a month early. Most twin moms have complications.
hehe...great.. now if only they understood that someone had to come up with such an ingenious alternative way of creating sugar and there is a place where He says that, that such things do not happen by chance during millions of years that have never happened except in your profit-science indoctrinated heads for which the truth is taboo!!! cheers..
Wow, such high quality content, thank you!!
Why do the symbiotic bacteria stop oxidizing H2S at S8? Why not go to H2SO4 and get more energy?
C section babies have been linked to developing learning disabilities and autism.
If it didnt dive so far into the assumptions of evolution which are not science, science is verifiable and repeatable, it could be a usable video.
Thanks
Every creation has its purpose.
Does this work with a disease called PATM (people allergic to me)? Because people suffer after taking antibiotocs?
Did you laugh when the government and big pharmaceuticals try to scare you with Covid? Lmao
Thats all lies. Its more to kill people. U naive or what

Ed, I just finished your I Contain Multitudes and thank you for helping me understand the complexity of every living molecules. You write well, you explain the nearly unexplainable life on earth.🌎
Can I get this video In telugu language
Speak for yourself, I’m clean 😂
Nice job!
Our dear friend chose to be composted which is legal in Washinton.
Love your knowledge and teaching style
I'm reading your book "Immense World" and learned among other things, that miniature spider hairs serve functions along with many other senses we don't share.
I bet over the next few decades we'll start seeing bacteria or some other micro organism that feeds on plastic since it's so plentiful in the oceans.
this not only explains about life on earth, but also how life adapts to all conditions on all planets, and stars, and what have you.
i wonder it would feel like to stick my dick in one of the tubeworms
that's an awesome video , i was impressed from the start to the end .Never knew that it could exist a symbiotic relation between fungi and plants . Thank you so much for this !
This is how learning becomes fun right people?
Reading your book right now
I am reading your book right now...thanks for your passion
Cellulose is a b1tch. Koalas do the same thing.
Very high quality content, I am stupefied . Kudos !
what is the recognition between worm and bacteria?
They're very tasty
My biology teacher showed this to the class today and he paused the video to let everyone know his nickname in high school was “big bag of bacteria”.
Are they safe to eat?
Yeah
But how did they get DOWN There ? It's a long trip down, and not much to feed on, and no light for a long . . . long trip down... :-O ?
But in the absence of Photosynthesis, How does Oxygen reach there?
Amaaazing ED!!!!
