The majority of life on Earth is microbial. Even within the human gut, there are more microbes than actual human cells. What are they all doing there? Dr. Emily Balskus's lab integrates the fields of chemistry and microbiology to study microbes and microbial communities. Dr. Balskus will discuss her lab’s efforts to understand the purpose of gut microbes in our bodies and the role they play in maintaining human health.


Science by the Pint is a free science café in which we invite a Boston-area research lab out to a pub or brewery to chat science over a cold one. The events are geared toward a general audience – all are welcome and no experience is necessary!


Our speaker will give a brief overview of her research and answer all of your questions. After that, the rest of the lab – grad students, postdoctoral researchers, research assistants, etc. – will rotate around the tables to have small-group, informal conversations about what they're working on.
