Summary
Raja Dhir is a life sciences entrepreneur and Co-Founder of Seed, a venture-backed microbiome company pioneering the application of bacteria for both human and planetary health.
After our groundbreaking interview with his co-founder, Ara Katz, on Green Dreamer's episode 109, we knew we had to bring Raja on the podcast as well to learn from his complementing scientific expertise leading Seed's research and development, academic collaborations, technology development, clinical trial design, supply chain, and intellectual property strategy.
On this podcast episode, Raja sheds light on common misconceptions of what "probiotics" are and what a healthy microbiome should look like; why we perhaps need to learn from how the Amish people live; how our knowledge of probiotics can be applied to address ecological challenges such as our honey bees' colony collapse disorder; and more.

| 1:14.6 | You're seeing things that worked and things that didn't work and what was passed down |
| 1:18.3 | and seeing how these things evolve in real time and what they resist to |
| 1:22.0 | and which drugs they inactivate. |
| 1:23.8 | And it affects almost every aspect of day-to-day life. |
| 1:29.7 | What does it mean that the science of microbiology is perhaps suggesting that we live more |
