I was invited to give three talks on the west coast in March, which aligned so well I was able to string them together into a mini “speaking tour”. I was looking forward to seeing work-related and non-work-related friends, and using a few of the days to visit more of the incredible ecosystems.
I presented three versions of a talk called “Place and time matter for gut microbes making anti-inflammatories from broccoli sprouts”, to tailor it to the audiences and time slots at each location. The talk incorporated various amounts of the #BroccoliProject and work with the Microbes and Social Equity working group.
