The more we learn about the microbes that inhabit the nooks and crannies of our bodies and wield profound influence on our health, the more questions arise from scientists and patients alike. Now, thanks to the microbial genomics company uBiome, we all have a chance to vote on which questions are most pressing.

After the voting, which you can do here, the winner will be announced in May.
