Favorite quote #1:
“Humans, said Dr. David Relman, a Stanford microbiologist, are like coral, “an assemblage of life-forms living together.”

Favorite quote #2:
“Humans, he (Dr. Barnett Kramer) said, in some sense are made mostly of microbes. From the standpoint of our microbiome, he added, “we may just serve as packaging.”
