Scientific Internship: Criticality in the bacterial brain
Many biological systems, arguably even the human brain, are tuned at criticality, the tipping point between order and disorder. Recently, by measuring random (thermal) fluctuations in a protein signaling circuit …
Scientific Internship: Can bacteria learn by association?
Associative learning, the process by which an organism develops through experience a relationship between two environmental events, is a hallmark of animal behavior. It is well-established that diverse animals, from …
Postdoc: Measuring predictive information in living cells.
Remarkable recent experiments have demonstrated that single-celled organisms are able to respond not only to experienced changes in the past, but also to expected changes that have yet to occur …
