Interesting review of the concept of the human body as an ecosystem. These days I don't think too many biological scientists in his audience would have needed the "lake" analogy to understand the idea, though some may have been interested in the history of the alewives as a wellknown ecological case study in itself.

A bit wordy at the start but overall very good.

Pondering ping.

Thanks, grey_whiskers. Hutchinson may have been all wet but probably on firm ground with regards his comprehensive studies.

For the next hour, I tried to convince them that their bodies are a lot like that lake

With journalists playing the role of pond scum.
