This raises a dilemma: although individuality provides advantages, it also tends to reduce coordination. I will report on our recent experimental and theoretical efforts that use bacterial chemotaxis as model system to understand, the origin of individual cellular behavior and performance, and how populations of cells reconciliate individuality with group behavior.More details: https://www.simonsfoundation.org/event/ccb-colloquium-thierry-emonet/Uploaded 25-11-19 Learn more about your ad choices.
