Life On Us

Everything that lives ON us or IN us, but is NOT us!
Come on an extraordinary journey through the 'human biome' and the amazing creatures that call our bodies home

Life On Us is a first-of-its-kind exploration of everything that lives ON and IN us, but is NOT us, from one of the world’s greatest living explorers and scientists!

Get ready to learn all about our amazing microbiome and the trouble-making germs and parasites you won't like to host. Scientist-extraordinaire Tim Flannery and his daughter Emma Flannery come together in this incredible exploration of a rapidly growing and enormously exciting area of science. Together, they've assembled possibly the weirdest collection of knowledge about the human body, from poo transfusions to research into how parasites can help us. Find out what's living on you!

Did you know:
- that your gut microbiome makes up three-quarters of the weight of your poo?
- that COVID-19 can enter your body through your eyeballs?
 
Perfect for:

• Kids who love knowing everything about anything!
• Fans of books such as Guinness Book of World Records and 100 Things To Know About the Human Body 
• Educators and literacy specialists seeking hybrid texts to use in the classroom
