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. Yacold also |

0:32.4 | Hello, 60 Second Science listeners. I'm Katie Hafner, and I'm the host of a new podcast called Lost |
0:39.9 | Women of Science. I've been writing about science and technology for decades, most of that time for |

2:02.3 | We put together a trailer for the series, and here it is. |
2:07.4 | I'm Katie Hafner, host of a new podcast called Lost Women of Science. |
