Anna Rothschild : Why you should love gross science

Anna Rothschild at TEDxMidAtlantic
Why you should love gross science  (transcript)

Summary

“Gross science” is a YouTube program that the speaker announces.
Sorry, she doesn't want to explain her channel, but she suggests that we need to know about gross science to see important sources of knowledge about our health and the world. Gross science is about the slimy, smelly, creepy underbelly of nature, medicine, and technology. It's something that we always don't really like to talk about.

However, talking about gross stuff is a great tool for education and it gives children curiosity. 1)  We can extend the concept of disgust to morality, find out where the limits are and know that there are cycles of decay by fungus. 2) We can tell doctors our own body and health and have to be ready about being few women doctors.

I don't have good examples though l also think what the speaker tells us is important.
We have to know our own body more, even dirty parts really protect us.

P.S. the story reminded me of like the following proverbs. How about you?
You can't just sweep your problems under the rug.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
