Bacteriophages with Ben Chan – The Show About Science

Bacteriophages, also known as ‘phages,’ are the most common lifeform on the planet. They are constantly hunting for bacteria to infect and kill. What if we could harness these tiny microbes to help us in our fight against harmful, disease-causing bacteria? On this episode of The Show About Science, Ben Chan, from Yale University, joins Nate to explore the potential of phages in treating human infections amid the declining effectiveness of broad-spectrum antibiotics.If you’re interested in collecting phage samples, you can email Ben at b.chan@yale.edu for further instructions on how to safely prepare and send your samples.Connect with The Show About Science:Mailing list and Ad Free Episodes: theshowaboutscience.comInstagram: @showaboutscienceFacebook: @theshowaboutscienceYouTube:The Show About ScienceTwitter: @natepodcastsLinkedIn: The Show About ScienceThreads: showaboutscience
