This course is designed to give a comprehensive overview of the human microbiome. Throughout this course we will delve into the community of microbes that inhabit the human body and how they play a crucial role in health and disease. Each class period will explore a different topic associated with the microbiome such as diet, antibiotics, and disease.

The course is based around some reading assignments and multi-choice quizzes. The end of semester project will be to make a zine about a topic associated with the microbiome!
