The Urban Microbiome
Humans are not just a handful of genes; we are also the result of coexisting with the microorganisms around us. Studying them offers new challenges for scientific research and for how we design and think about cities. The biologists Elizabeth Hénaff and Núria Conde, who are experts in the complexity of the interactions between living systems, present us with a new way of looking at cities and their constituent parts.
This activity has been organized within the Barcelona Evolution Day program and in the context of the international meeting EvoKE BCN 21, Evolution everywhere, which has received the support of the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE, CSIC-UPF) among others.
