Rob Knight: How our microbes make us who we are

Rob Knight is a pioneer in studying human microbes, the community of tiny single-cell organisms living inside our bodies that have a huge — and largely unexplored — role in our health. “The three pounds of microbes that you carry around with you might be more important than every single gene you carry around in your genome,” he says.

Professor Knight and several others have a free six-week internet course on Coursera called Gut Check: Exploring Your Microbiome. I don't know when it will be offered again, but I loved taking it last Fall.
