TOP REVIEWS FROM GUT CHECK: EXPLORING YOUR MICROBIOME
Outstanding course! I really enjoyed and I learned many interesting things. Amazing teachers and mentors. Thank you so much to all of you that made this course possible!
The course is very clear and touches important aspects of Human Microbiota. It just needs more updates, because the field is rapidly growing. Thanks.
Loved the idea of this course but a bit out of my league. I wanted more on the data and applying it in real life rather than how the data is collected.
The course raised my level knowledge about Gut microbiology at its highest. even I inspired from the course and choose my research topic about the gut microbiology.
