Nuri (nools) | 538 comments More TED stuff, this time about bacteria and quorum sensing -- courtesy of a TA in molecular/cellular bio.

I looked up some of the published work, and apparently, she's been developing the idea for some years now. I thought it was really cool (if in a nerdy way), and very well explained. Don't need to be a science person to follow, and she gives it such a human relevance.

And, Matt, she's from Princeton! So envious! I would love to take a class with her....


edit: Sorry, everyone... it's kind of long. But worth it if you have the time!!

Matthieu | 1009 comments Bonnie is one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet.


message 3: by Nuri (new)

Nuri (nools) | 538 comments You know her personally!

Oh, I'm not wilting with envy at all!


message 4: by Matthieu (new)

Matthieu | 1009 comments Ha, I don't know her! I met her at the orchestra banquet. She's really, really nice. Come to Pton!

Nuri (nools) | 538 comments Ha. As if they'd take me.

It's good. I'll just do some amazing, science-altering research and meet her at my own banquet in ten years. :P

: )

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments That was really cool Nools. I love stuff like that. It just shows that there is so much more going on in our little world than we even know. And there's so much more to discover! :D
