In connection with my recent lecture on life, I had a good interview with the local NPR station in Oklahoma. We talked about making life from scratch, Microcosm, and the microbes that are eavesdropping on you from the inside. You can listen to it on this embedded player below, or download it from the KWGS web site.
One of the most fascinating bits of information from the interview is that microbe cells exist in the human body at a ratio of 10 to 1. Thanks. Fascinating.

Thanks for providing such great information for us all.
On the KWGS site, I couldn’t see how to download the interview. Can you give me some guidance?

TULSA, OKLAHOMA (2009-03-27)
Science writer Carl Zimmer examines the definition of “What is life?” in the JW Powell Memorial Lecture Sunday at the University of Tulsa. His latest book, “Microcosm:E.coli and the New Science of Life”, published by Pantheon Books, explains that this tiny bacteria, feared by most of us in its virulent form, has had an enormous impact as a research tool in expanding our understanding of biology and biochemistry this past century. Five Nobel Prizes have been won for researchers using E.coli has their test organism. © Copyright 2009, kwgs”
