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.

Losing your job is bad, for you, but it could be good for the rest of us, because a study shows that a recession lowers mortality in the population overall, even as the out-of-work individual's

risk of death rises. That paradoxical finding appears in the American Journal of Epidemiology.

It's easy to imagine that the stress of getting canned could pave the way to an untimely demise.

But can joblessness really improve societal survival? To find out, researchers examine data from the US Department of Labor

and a 20-year survey of so-called income dynamics, and they found that job

loss is linked to a 73% rise in the probability of death for the newly unemployed, the equivalent

of adding 10 years to his or her age. At the same time, parsing the data state by state, the researchers

found that people in general live longer during an economic downturn, an extra year for each percentage

point rise in unemployment. One possible explanation, when the economy is strong, people commute

more and sleep less, raising the risk of car crashes and job-related injuries. Such accidents are

less likely when folks are sitting on their couches polishing up their resumes. Thanks for the minute.
