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. |
0:11.0 | Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:19.6 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcult.co. |
0:22.7 | .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. |
0:33.5 | This is Scientific Americans' 60-second science. I'm Steve Merski. Got a minute? |

1:29.2 | bureaucracy. So in 2013, I thought of an idea because I traveled to hundreds of villages |
1:37.0 | across India for my research projects and we realized that everybody had access to cell phones. |
1:43.0 | It was very simple for people to call in and report an |
1:45.7 | incident. So with my collaborator, Nikil Velpunur, in 2013, we set up a web portal and a technology |
