Gastronauts

This January, we are thrilled to host Dr. Michael Huffman from Nagasaki University, a trailblazer and founding figure in the study of animal self-medication. For decades, Dr. Huffman has revealed how wild primates harness nature's pharmacy-using medicinal plants to combat parasites and disease. His pioneering research opens new windows into animal intelligence, parasitology, and even future therapeutic innovations inspired by the wisdom of the wild. Don't miss this rare opportunity to reimagine medicine through the lens of nature. Join us for this special virtual seminar and be part of a conversation that bridges science, behavior, and the secrets of survival. Gastronauts is a focused group of researchers passionate about gut-brain matters. From food to mood, we are always thinking about how to tap into the gut to improve human health and the world in which we live. Join us every first Tuesday of the month!
