Thrilled to see this paper published @PhysRevX: Check it out at In it, we describe how growing mixed bacterial colonies can be thought of as multi-component "active fluids" that exhibit interfacial instabilities. Summary in the tweetorial below ⬇️
Excited to release our latest work, led by @almcalvo & @ctrenado_yuste + with Ned Wingreen: Here, we show how spatial structuring in microbial communities can, in some cases, be described as a fluid interfacial instability.🦠🤯 Tweetorial follows! [1/8]

Thanks to @ALavino_Nature & @tjdursch for the invitation! Gus Aris wrote in 1973: While problems in life sciences "are infinitely more complex than engineering ones, they offer a challenging and important field for our efforts." Indeed. We've just scratched the surface! [5/5]
