Flatulence is a daily phenomenon. In fact, most human beings pass gas 10-20 times a day (yes, that includes you). Where does your bodily gas come from? Purna Kashyap takes us on a journey into the intestines, shedding light on how gas is...

If you go to the gym often enough, you might be familiar with protein powders and shakes, but one study thinks that the secret to big gains might actually be your gut bacteria.

This Valentine’s Day, send a little love to your bacterial buddies! Our microbes keep us healthy, but some bacteria give their animal companions superpowers, like immunity to poison, or even invisibility!

We humans couldn’t live without our gut microbes, but not all animals rely on microscopic digestive communities like we do. And understanding why these animals ditched their microbial partners can teach us a lot about the costs and...

On SciShow News this week, Hank explains how it can rain on the sun and dives in to findings from the NASA twin study!

You probably think the appendix is a useless organ left over from our evolutionary past, but it turns out it may be doing something important after all.

Sometimes your farts stink, and sometimes they don't—and it's not because of methane.

Our modern lifestyle and diet are leading to the extinction of parts of our microbiome, but we can use what we've learned from dealing with nearly-extinct macrobiota, like bald eagles, to understand the consequences and find solutions.

You can probably tell someone the purpose of most of your body parts. But what about earwax? Or your appendix? If you’re looking for those answers, or wondering why you have a butt, pop a squat to find out about weird human attributes.

This week, science explains the chemical love-connection we share with our dogs, and how some of the most isolated populations of people in the world are different on the inside.

The bacteria in our guts can break down food the body can't digest, produce important nutrients, regulate the immune system, and protect against harmful germs. And while we can't control all the factors that go into maintaining a healthy...
