Episode 2 - Ana Maria Porras

My guest today is Dr. Ana Maria Porras, currently a Cornell Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow. She’s a biomedical engineer whose research ranges on topics from tissue engineering to the gut microbiome. Our chat today touches on critical stages in the development of your gut microbiome, the importance of a global perspective when researching diseases, as well as #microbemondays, her social media initiative which uses art to communicate science.
