🧵 New preprint out! We asked: what happens to gut bacteria when the intestine is under chronic inflammation (IBD)? Turns out, the host's inflammatory state reshapes how they evolve, and the results are pretty striking. A thread 👇

GIMM Fest returns September 17–19 with three days dedicated to the future of science and health, this year focusing on microbes. 🦠 Join researchers and innovators for a programme designed to promote scientific exchange and collaboration.

How does basic science explain bacteria’s big impact? At Princeton, HHMI Investigator Bonnie Bassler and her lab are leading research in quorum sensing, the process by which bacteria communicate with one another to carry out collective tasks. Watch and find out more about their work.

Watch out for this fantastic meeting in 17-19 September in Lisbon about Microbes !!! gimm.pt/gimm-festiva...
