Using a transparent soil mimic and the model bacterium #Ecoli, researchers characterized how soil texture affects bacterial motility across pore scales, finding bacteria shift from run-and-tumble behavior in large pores to frequent trapping in small ones. go.aps.org/4lJCCFG
Applications for the CPBF postdoc fellowship are open. Come join us at Princeton!
Check out our new preprint on bacterial motility and chemotaxis towards plants in a transparent soil!
Soil texture regulates bacterial motility and chemotactic recruitment to plant roots biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_biophys
@AkankshaThawani @Columbia Congrats!
This was a fun piece to write. Thanks to the Aspen Center for Physics for inviting me.

Check out our new paper which describes large scale 3D simulations of M xanthus colonies. We recapitulate many features from experiments and learn some new things as well! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
So happy to see this out. What a great collaboration!
Paper now out in PNAS! Our colloidal whole-cell simulations + in vivo 3D particle tracking reveal how macromolecular interactions and confinement determine dynamics/localization in E. coli. Congrats @AlpSunol & @dsvalverdem! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
The Princeton Brass Band is off to the National Championships again, but we need your help! Running a world-class band, from music and instruments to rehearsal space and free concerts to our education and outreach, is not cheap. Please consider donating! raise.snap.app/donate/princet…

Interested in helping us making big things happen here at Princeton? The Office of the Dean for Research is looking to hire at a senior level in research development. This is a great opportunity to work with fantastic faculty to drive important projects! main-princeton.icims.com/jobs/19177/sen…
So excited to announce our new method for multiplexed RNA imaging in bacterial cells: bacterial-MERFISH! A huge congratulations to the team of @AriSarfatis, Yuanyou Wang, and Nana Twumasi-Ankrah! Check out the following thread or our bioRxiv (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) 1/12
Come join the PRX Life team!
🚨 New #science job! 🚨 We're #hiring a full-time editor with expertise in #BiologicalPhysics, #neuroscience, and/or #biophysics. The candidate will also be part of the @PhysRevE editorial team. For more information and to apply: go.aps.org/3yXhV4L..
Excited to share my lab’s first preprint! We found that increasing DNA binding by type IV pili in an Acinetobacter pathogen can boost its natural transformation rates by ~100-fold, demonstrating that DNA binding is rate-limiting for natural transformation. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
How do bacteria grow and move in large groups where cells appear adhered to each other but can move freely? Using capillary forces from thin layers of water! Check out our new preprint with Matt Black, Chenyi Fei, @RicardAlert and Ned Wingreen: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
I’m excited to be joining PRX Life, which has the potential to be an outstanding journal in the field of biological physics. Experimentalists (!) and theorists alike, send us your most exciting work. I look forward to working with you through the review process.
Meet our newest editor, Josh Sheavitz! 👋 @shaevitz is a professor of #physics and #genomics at @Princeton, studying cell and animal behavior. He will manage manuscripts and leverage his broad expertise to improve the #PeerReview process for #interdisciplinary papers.
