Knowledge is power. And while we’re halfway cringing to start with a cliche Sir Francis Bacon-ism here...when considering the personal philosophy of Ara Katz it is a throughline. Ara is the co-founder of Seed, a microbiome-centered, science and data-driven organization ambitiously setting out to pioneer, in their words, ‘the inquiry, application, and communication of microbiome science to improve human and planetary health.’
This week, we visited Ara at home in Venice to learn more about her curiosity-driven, rule-breaking, compassion-rooted ethos inspiring us to level up, learn a lot, be skeptical, and (above all) set out to do things that make everyone better.
