🚨This week in @PNASNews 🚨 Our new paper led by @sb_worthan examining a pH sensitive substitution in the Rho transcription terminator that evolved experimentally in the lab and then found in natural populations! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… A thread 🧵!



New Research Alert! Cyanobacteria, tiny but mighty, can anticipate the seasons by sensing changes in day length! @M_louisae with the great publication in @ScienceMagazine #evolution







5/ How do microbial🦠 communities communicate between single cells to behave like multicellular organisms? Awardee @C__Ellison hypothesizes that bacterial cell components (such as pili) are critical modulators. 🎉 Congrats Dr. Ellison! @universityofga 🙏#HFScout @BhayaDevaki
