## Caption

#Inquiry serves our collective needs better than #fear.⠀
⠀
To #misunderstand means to fail to interpret or understand something correctly. And #microbes have been deeply misunderstood. For the last century, we’ve been indiscriminately destroying them. We now know that fewer than 100 species of #bacteria cause infectious diseases in #humans. For the #trillions more that live in us and on us, we must do #better in #understanding their place in the world.⠀
⠀
Bacteria teach us that #everything is #connected, that #collaboration advances us more than #competition, that we are all walking, talking #ecosystems linked to every other living thing on the #planet. 👫🐷👭🦊🐢👬🐟🌲🌿🐕🌵🦑🐱🐒
