Giulia Enders gave seven-minute talk (at Science Slam Berlin) about being a medical student studying the gut. The talk got people talking, and got a a book publisher offering a book contract, and got Enders writing a book, and got lots of people reading that book after it was written. Here’s video of the talk, in German, called “Darm mit Charme”. The book has the same name, and is now also being published in other languages.
The Guardian has two articles that give details and an appreciation:
“Gut reaction: book celebrating digestive tract becomes German bestseller”
