    What is a fecal microbial transplantation? - Kathryn M. Stephenson and David L. Suskind

    Dig into the science of fecal microbial transplantation, where doctors transfer feces into a patient to help reset their gut microbiome.--1,700 years ago, Chinese alchemist Ge Hong was renowned for his soup that could cure diarrhea-stricken patients. It had a surprising secret ingredient: feces. While it might seem unwise to consume feces, exciting new research suggests that taking poop into the body in other ways might benefit our health. Kathryn M. Stephenson & David L. Suskind share the science of fecal microbial transplantation.Lesson by Kathryn M. Stephenson and David L.

    How do you know what's true? - Sheila Marie Orfano

    Explore the Rashomon effect, where individuals give significantly different but equally believable accounts of the same event. --A samurai is found dead in a quiet bamboo grove. One by one, the crime’s only known witnesses recount their version of the events. But as they each tell their tale, it becomes clear that every testimony is plausible yet different. And each witness implicates themselves. What’s going on? Sheila Marie Orfano explores the phenomenon of warring perspectives known as the Rashomon effect.Lesson by Sheila Marie Orfano, directed by Jeremiah Dickey.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/can-you-trust-your-memory-sheila-marie-orfanoDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/can-you-trust-your-memory-sheila-marie-orfano#digdeeper ----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
