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.

A question for the ladies. Do you keep a sweater at your workplace desk, even in the summer?

Or maybe especially in the summer? Well, before you go blaming your internal thermostat, listen to this.

A new study shows that the air conditioning in many buildings is set to keep men feeling comfy. The findings are served up in the journal Nature Climate Change. People

lose productivity when they spend all day shivering or sweating, but finding that sweet

spot, a temperature where everyone is happy, can be a real challenge. Offices are heated

in winter and chilled in summer,

but these indoor climate control systems are based on standards established in the 1960s,

when the standard setters envisioned the typical office worker to be a man, 40 years old, and weighing

150 pounds. In the new study, researchers measured the metabolic rate of 16 young women as they performed light office duties, and found that the subjects were at a much lower burn than would be men of the accepted standard.

That means that women in the workplace need less air conditioning to get to their comfort zone and will really chill out with the AC set to 1960.

The findings also suggest that

companies can conserve energy and save money by taking into consideration the ages, sexes, and

body sizes of their employees. And that just might stop them from giving us gals the cold shoulder.

Thanks for the minute. For Scientific Americans, 60 Second Science, I'm Karen Hopkins.
