Background  Although criticized for a variety of reasons, TED platforms and conventions have been engaged, often uncritically, as tools for popular science communication. This article critically examines four TED Talks that engage the relatively recent biomedical concept of the human microbiome.  Analysis Neoliberal values underpin both the TED universe and the marketization of science. TED conventions produce a discursive regularity that brings together neoliberal subjectivity and bioeconomic imperatives of contemporary scientific research. This neoliberalization is supported by uncritically championing citizen science and the so-called democratization of science alongside crowdsourcing and crowdfunding appeals. Conclusions and implications   Uncritically embracing TED Talks can implicate science communication in the reproduction of problematic ideological positions that favour economic interests over the social good or even individual health. Contexte   Les plateformes et conferences TED ont contribue a rendre la science accessible, meme si elles souvent manque de discernement en le faisant. Cet article effectue un examen critique de quatre TED Talks portant sur le concept relativement recent de microbiome humain.  Analyse  Des valeurs neoliberales sous-tendent l’univers TED et la marchandisation de la science. Les conferences TED associent ordinairement une subjectivite neoliberale aux imperatifs bioeconomiques de la recherche savante contemporaine. Elles appuient le neoliberalisme en vantant de maniere parfois irreflechie la pretendue democratisation de la science, les sciences participatives, la production participative et les appels au sociofinancement.   Conclusions et implications   Accepter sans reserve les TED Talks peut entrainer la communication de la science a reproduire des partis pris ideologiques problematiques, favorisant des interets economiques au detriment du bien commun ou meme de la sante personnelle.
