Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

This is Scientific Americans' 60-second science. I'm Steve Merski. Got a minute?

New MacArthur Fellows announced today, commonly called the Genius Grants.

Seven of the 21 fellows are mathematicians or scientists.

And another is a science historian.

My name is Pamela Long, and I'm a historian of 15th and 16th century Europe of the history

of science and technology and cultural history.

So I'm interested in the processes that occur when infrastructure projects are undertaken.

What I'm very interested in is the relationship between practitioners who understand

engineering and have trained on-site to, say, repair bridges or repair aqueducts and

learned people, people with university training. So you have this communication between practitioners and learned people.

And I argue that that's important for the development of the new sciences.

People call it the scientific revolution.

It was a time when investigating the natural world, the methods shifted to empirical methods, to measurement

and mathematical analysis.

So engineering became part of learned culture in a sense, and that that broad context is

important for the development of new methodologies.
