Diarrhea and Domesticating Germs

   I really enjoyed this video. It really shows how big out of the box thinking can start to solve problems that seem unsolvable. For me that is what it means to be a leader. Thinking Big.

      In this video Evolutionary Biologist Paul                   Ewald talks about how limiting transmission    actually causes pathogens to evolve into less   harmful or "Domesticated" versions of   themselves.

           This could revolutionize how we view disease treatment and put and end to the progression of medication resistant drugs.


I know that sometimes we all have a tendency to just accept the problems of the world as endemic or overwhelming. It is true leaders like this gentlemen that make me want to believe in the solution.
