Congratulations to all lab members that contributed to this amazing collaborative effort! A news published also on the @ETH_en website 🤗 baug.ethz.ch/en/news-and-eve…
❓What survival strategies enable #marinebacteria to chase sinking particles for days under starvation — and how might this shape the ocean’s long-term carbon storage ❓ A joint PriME effort just hot off the press 🔥🥳👇 nature.com/articles/s41564-0…

New preprint! A new direction for my research program: Bacteria can use antagonism to forage for nutrients in microbial communities. Shoot spearguns with toxins into other cells and leak out nutrients! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The inaugural Alma Dal Co School on Collective Behavior will be in Venice (Sep 29-Oct 4, 2025). This unique school honors Alma (1989-2022), whose brilliant work bridging physics and microbiology revealed how metabolic interactions structure microbial communities. @Alma_DalCo 1/12

📢A great example of PriME lab collaboration just published on @eLife! It shows how #MarineBacteria can efficiently time their dispersal from sinking polysaccharides using degradation products & likely #QuorumSensing, avoiding the abyss 😉 Well done 👏 elifesciences.org/articles/9…
