This lecture will explore the parallels between the chaos of societal conflicts and microbial-scale conflicts which promote chronic inflammation and cancer.
Analogous to societal conflicts, dysbiosis of the microbiome can cause disruption of cellular communication, cellular homeostasis, and resistance to disease. Maintaining the “good life” in society does not mean a complete absence of conflict, but that we must manage challenges constructively, striving toward resolution, while emphasizing a vision of well-being that promotes balance within our bodies, our communities, and global society.
