Associate Professor of Biology Dr. Preston Garcia presents "Why being too clean can be harmful." Our entire body is covered in beneficial microbes, invisible to the naked eye, but essential to our health and well-being. Over time, we have disrupted this balanced relationship with the overuse of antibiotics and anti-bacterial cleaners in an attempt to "be clean." Garcia presents the latest research on why we need to learn to love our microbes again.
