The Human Nature Lab (www.HumanNatureLab.net) studies the predicates and implications of human social interactions, including the role of social networks in the spread and physiological impact of the gut microbiome. This work advances both sides of the “social microbiome” — understanding the two-way relationship between social interactions and microbial phenotypes.
