Dear members, 

I just wanted to write you quickly and let you know we’ve had a slight delay with this month’s Book Club podcast. We will be releasing the episode next week. 

The book for this month is I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life by Ed Yong and the discussion page can be found here. 

We’re excited to share the podcast with you. If you haven’t already make sure to add the private podcast feed to your preferred podcast app. Instructions on how to do that are below.

    Applying Whitman's line "I contain multitudes" to "the microbes within us" is clever. But the line can also be associated with the scene in "The Exorcist" where the young priest asks "Where's Regan?" and the voice coming out of her mouth says "She's in here with us."

      I had that same thought while going through this book!

    No worries, these things happen. I'm looking forward to the episode. Quick question: there was some talk about potentially changing the order of the books this quarter. Is the October book still the same one that was originally announced or different? Thank you!

      Stay tuned on the order of the books, Scott. Thanks for your question.
