Episode Description

Over the last few hundred years, since the discovery of bacteria, we have been obsessed with cleanliness.  We want to kill all the bugs on our counters, in our toilets, on our door knobs.  Rob Dunn has been studying the bacteria and bugs in our home environment to find out how they affect us, what they do for us, and who they are.  Join  me for this important interview as we discuss his book “Never Home Alone.”
