Tim talked us through how the recently discovered 100 trillion microbes in our gut are key to our health and happiness. With the same numbers as cells in our body, these little chemical factories influence our brain, our mood, our energy levels and anxiety and maintain our immune system. Our microbes are unique, whilst our DNA is less so; they offer the key to personalised medicine.

Each of the twelve speakers tackled some of the world’s most challenging and exciting issues: the future of democracy, how recent advances in neuroscience and technology are set to revolutionise medicine and healthcare and the ever more urgent need to address climate change.
