0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:19.6 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcult.co. |
0:22.7 | .jp.j. That's y-A-K-U-Lt.c-O.jp. When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacolt. |
0:33.5 | This is Scientific American's 60-second science. I'm Christopher in Taliatta. |
0:39.1 | Summertime in India can be unbearably hot. |
0:42.1 | And the first thing you want, get me some clouds. |
0:45.9 | That they cool now. |
0:47.3 | Sudeep Chakraborti grew up there in Kolkata, |
0:50.3 | where he developed a childhood fascination with clouds. |
0:52.9 | And in like three or four months, during months on time, it's like, you know, rain, rain, all rain. |
0:59.5 | But I like the clouds, their rain, their strength they have, their importance. |
1:05.1 | It's something like I love them, you know. |
1:06.9 | His love of water vapor led him to study clouds as a climate scientist at UC Davis. |
1:12.0 | Clouds, he says, are built of tiny aerosol particles of dust or pollution from fossil fuel |
1:17.0 | burning that suck up water vapor. |
1:19.2 | Now, this cloud particle with time, they combine with each other and become big. |
1:25.4 | And when they become big, due to gravity, they fall out and we call it a rain. |
1:29.8 | Chakabortese studied that process in large thunderstorm systems over the tropics, |
1:33.9 | using data from geostationary and circumpolar satellites. And he found that when more aerosols |
1:39.1 | seed the air, like in places with lots of industrial or agricultural pollution, the same amount of water vapor gets absorbed by a larger number of aerosols, |
