This is the podcast by the Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics at the University of Copenhagen. We talk hardcore science in simple terms, so you will learn lots of new words and concepts. As a side effect of listening to our podcast, you may become fascinated by and obsessed with microorganisms and their interactions as much as we are. You can also watch the video version of the podcast episodes on our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7ZdF81zo9FRY_cGTrxktxQ

In home hot water heaters there are ba…

We discuss salmon health and zoom in and out of different compartments to see what bacteria are in the salmon gut, as well as in tapeworms that live in the salmon. Think Matryoshka dolls! Yes, tapeworms don’t have an intestine but they have their own microbiome! No…
