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. To learn more about Yachtold, visit yawcult.co.j.p.

That's y-A-K-U-L-T-C-O-J-P.

When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacult.

Picture someone who is prepared to survive the end of the world.

What are they up to?

Maybe you're imagining a vaulty from Fallout, zipping themselves into a uniform and heading underground to hide away from the rest of humanity.

Or did your mind jump to Nick Offerman's isolationist tactics in The Last of Us?

Sorry, I gotta move on from that one very quick, or I will start crying.

According to Athena Octopus, an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at Arizona

State University, the folks most likely to survive and thrive in the wake of catastrophe

would do a lot less hiding and maybe a lot more

goofing around. So get in, loser. We're getting ready for the apocalypse. For science quickly,

Athena, thanks for coming on. I'm really excited to talk to you about your latest book.

Yeah, so my book is called A Field Guide to the Apocalypse, a mostly serious guide to our wild times.

And it is in a nutshell a fun book about how to survive the apocalypse.

Listeners might be surprised to learn that a funny book about the apocalypse is like a pretty

natural progression of your research on cooperation, which you've managed to apply to everything

from cells to zombie outbreaks.
