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.

I'm an engineer. I've trained as an engineer. I have degrees in mechanical and chemical engineering.

And some people claim that I practice chemistry without a license.

Francis Arnold, the Caltech scientist, shared the 2018 Nobel Prize in chemistry.

But what I care about is how do we share the planet with all the other living things

and have a planet that's worth living in while we cure disease and make our quality of life

better?

Arnold spoke April 9th at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C.

at an event honoring 10 U.S. Nobel and Cavley Prize laureates.

The evening was sponsored by the Cavley Foundation and produced by Scientific American.

Arnold's Nobel Prize was for directing the evolution of enzymes to make them work

even better or in entirely new ways. And it seems to me that this tremendously powerful

algorithm of evolution, that create complexity and that create the materials and create all of the lovely things in the biological world,

we should learn how to use that algorithm to solve the biggest problems that we face.

How do we house, fuel, feed, clothe, 10 billion people?

And it's the biological world that can do this

because we're learning how to harness this four billion years' worth of work.
