The Human Microbiome Project

Sally Kohn: We've been talking about your interest in interfacing or basically encapsulating really studying science and the scientific method from an anthropological perspective. And so, you know, you mentioned this microbiome study. So tell me a little bit more; has it always been a component of sort of clinical medicine that you've been fascinated by? Kohn: I was thinking about how new technologies are allowing for different kinds of kinships to be made, right? Genetic technology is right, all those sorts of ancestry testing, all that sort of stuff.
