From the Ted Talk by Jessica Green: Are we filtering the wrong microbes?
Unscramble the Blue Letters
If you look at the x-axis of this graph, you'll see that what we commonly want to do — which is kipeeng the outdoors out — we accomplished that with mehcncaial vtatnoeiiln. So if you look at the green data points, which is air that's outside, you'll see that there's a large amount of microbial diversity, or variety of microbial types. But if you look at the blue data points, which is mechanically viltaneted air, it's not as diverse. But being less dvseire is not necessarily good for our health. If you look at the y-axis of this graph, you'll see that, in the mcaeilanclhy ventilated air, you have a higher probability of encountering a potential pathogen, or germ, than if you're outdoors.
Open Cloze
If you look at the x-axis of this graph, you'll see that what we commonly want to do — which is _______ the outdoors out — we accomplished that with _____________________. So if you look at the green data points, which is air that's outside, you'll see that there's a large amount of microbial diversity, or variety of microbial types. But if you look at the blue data points, which is mechanically __________ air, it's not as diverse. But being less _______ is not necessarily good for our health. If you look at the y-axis of this graph, you'll see that, in the ____________ ventilated air, you have a higher probability of encountering a potential pathogen, or germ, than if you're outdoors.

If you look at the x-axis of this graph, you'll see that what we commonly want to do — which is keeping the outdoors out — we accomplished that with mechanical ventilation. So if you look at the green data points, which is air that's outside, you'll see that there's a large amount of microbial diversity, or variety of microbial types. But if you look at the blue data points, which is mechanically ventilated air, it's not as diverse. But being less diverse is not necessarily good for our health. If you look at the y-axis of this graph, you'll see that, in the mechanically ventilated air, you have a higher probability of encountering a potential pathogen, or germ, than if you're outdoors.
