Article in ‘MOTHERBOARD’: Our Microbiomes Are Making Scientists Question What it Means to Be Human

Rebecca Flowers, science writer for Motherboard, has published an article  on the recent paper by Rees, Bosch and Douglas “How the microbiome challenges our concept of self”: She talked to the authors and other scientists to discuss the question: Are we people or a “megaorganism?”
