Hygiene is essential for health but dirt, dust, debris ... too. Perhaps this apparent uncleanliness is one of the secrets of future health, and dirt gradually becomes a treasure. In this nanotalk (a very short talk), Fernando Polack shows us how we have to get back to the dust that took us so much effort to clean. Fernando Polack, after specializing in the United States for more than 10 years, returned to Argentina in 2003 to create the Infant Foundation and contribute to the development of science in our country. Dr. Polack is one of the scientists of most reknown in his specialty, and has received numerous awards throughout his career, being the last the Best Pediatric Researcher of the Year 2010 award, given by the Pediatric Research Society of the United States.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
