To detect diseases earlier let's speak bacteria's secret language - a podcast by TED and PRX

Nanophysicist Fatima AlZahra’a Alatraktchi invented a tool to spy on bacterial chatter and translate their secret communication into human language. Her work could pave the way for early diagnosis of disease — before we even get sick. This talk was filmed at TEDxAarhus.
