I was interviewed by Leigh Frame and Janette Rodrigues for the GW Integrative Medicine podcast! They host the podcast to explore research on health. We talked about my work on broccoli sprouts and microbes, @MicroSocEquity, and Microbiome Stewardship. soundcloud.com/user-5163473...

Save the Microbes, Save the World

Today we’re going to talk about broccoli, sulforaphane, and combating inflammation, as well as the new research and education discipline of microbes and social equity, with Sue Ishaq, PhD, founder of

"The PATHOME Study: Leveraging contrasts in urban socio-economic living conditions and pathogen diversity in humans, animals, and the environment to prioritize intervention policy in Kenya", Dr. Kelly Baker. August 30th, 12 - 2 pm EDT Register: microbesandsocialequity.org/events/upcom...

The "microbes and social equity" session at #ISME19#MicrobesAndSocialEquity working group, and to co-chair the amazing talks on how researchers and educators are combining microbiology with social science and community development.

About half the lab was able to make it to #ISME19 in Cape Town, and we decided to walk off our jet lag at the Botanical Garden in the rain!

Check out our project video on how we use gut microbes to make products out of broccoli that can improve our health. The nutrition/biochemistry is led by the Li and Zhang Labs at SUNY Binghamton, and the microbiology is led by the Ishaq Lab at UMaine. Narrated by Miriam Talalay. youtu.be/_6BMkvjO-hA

The Story of Gut Microbes and Broccoli

This is the story of a how a team of researchers is using gut microbes to make products out of broccoli that can improve our health. The nutrition and biochemistry parts are led by the Li and Zhang Labs at SUNY Binghamton, and the microbial parts are being led by the Ishaq Lab at the University of Maine. Collectively, we are researching how our gut microbes can be used to make things out of inactive parts of our diet which can then be used to help us. Narrated by Miriam Talalay.
