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 yawc.co.jot.com.j, that's y-A-K-U-L-T-C-O-J-P. |

0:33.7 | This is Scientific American's 60-second science. I'm Christopher in Taguata. A baby's laugh is unmist's 60 Second Science. I'm Christopher in Taliatta. |
0:39.4 | A baby's laugh is unmistakable. |
0:43.5 | But aside from its squealing, high-pitched quality, there's another factor that sets a baby's laugh apart from ours. |

1:41.9 | Because remember, our laughs gravitate towards the exhale as we age, |
1:45.7 | and Sauter thinks one reason for that could be that we gain more vocal control as we learn to talk, |
1:51.2 | because speaking also happens primarily on the exhale. She presented the preliminary findings |
1:56.7 | at a meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in Victoria, Canada. |
