Science in a Cup: Probiotics - a podcast by Stressed Fruit Fly lab

Deane Woruba from the Western Sydney University introduces the concept of probiotics, fitness, microbiomes (see Thomas's interview) and how his PhD research is helping farmers manage a terrible insect pest (Tephritid fruit flies such as the Queensland fruit fly).

Presented by Dr Alexie Papanicolaou of the Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment (Western Sydney University, Australia), Science in a Cup is a 5 minute interview-style podcast where a scientist explains one word related to science. Sometimes it is a jargon but more often this is a word we use every day but scientists may have a different meaning.
