I started eating a plant-based diet about two years ago. This lead to my interest in the microbiome. Research is showing how 'what we eat' is closely linked to our health...in more ways than imaginable. So, I designed this not-completely-accurate representation of the microbiome. NOTE: Only use the installed hanging wire. This mosaic was created on foam board, which does not hold any other hardware.

For any of you geeks, I tried to represent organisms in their associated gut location. However, this is NOT my expertise. Feel free to correct me!

Oral cavity:
Corney bacteria
Lactobacillus
Streptococcus

Caecum:
I'm burnt out...you tell me!
