THE ORAL MICROBIOME is a stable community of microorganisms, despite the daily intrusions of personal hygiene, food and fluid intake. A healthy oral microbiome leads to healthy oral health, and dysbiosis or disbalance causes gingivitis and other problems. Anecdotally, a sexual partner with a healthy oral microbiome can confer this on their partner, even if the partner's microbiome is unhealthy.

PHOTONIC CRYSTALS. "In this paper we pursue the rather appealing analogy between the behavior of electromagnetic waves in artificial, three-dimensionally periodic, dielectric structures and the rather more familiar behavior of electron waves in natural crystals. These artificial two- and three-dimensionally periodic structures we call photonic crystals." https://lnkd.in/eGCJ-37 View in LinkedIn
