Funded projects
Searching for the lost bacteria
MIT researchers travel the world collecting stool samples from indigenous people who still have a very rich microbiota. This report will show how the people furthest from the modern world can help those made sick by civilization.
Poisoned by the dirty gold
This project will investigate the working conditions in artisanal gold mines and the health damage caused by the use of mercury and cyanide in Bolivia and Peru. It will explain the difficulties, cross-interests, and alternatives.
