Our new paper on the theory of chemotactic encounters between bacteria and phytoplankton is out. Big thanks to Riccardo, @BrumleyLab, François, and Roman!

Individual filaments' decentralized yet coordinated gliding behavior allows Trichodesmium to swiftly modulate the shape of its aggregates in response to environmental changes. Thanks to all collaborators! @upfreundt @theStockerLab @MicSysEcoLab @ETH_en

Happy to share our mini-review/perspective piece on how encounter rates set the timescales of interactions between microbes:

This paper is a result of a very fruitful collaboration with @WilczekLab
