   Our Billion-Year Relationship with Bacteria: A Faculty Panel

   We share our bodies and our planet with bacteria that have been here for billions of years and that relationship is far stranger and more intimate than most of us realize. In this panel discussion, our biology faculty ask whether we are truly individuals or walking ecosystems, and trace how our bodies and immune systems coevolved alongside microbes over deep time. They'll untangle our relationship with bacteria, where the line between helpful and harmful is blurrier than you'd think. Join us in the library for a wide-ranging look at the smallest organisms with the largest claim on who we are. This event is part of our One Book, One College program on John Green's Everything Is Tuberculosis.
