Biofilm Statistics: Getting back to the basics

Last week, we had the priviledge of once again hosting 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐀𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫 from CBE, MSU.
🧫 Prof. Parker shared invaluable insights on managing microbiological data and on designing experiments.
A big thank you to Prof. Parker for his time and for inspiring us to analyse data with greater entusiasm!

The contrarian Pseudomonas aeruginosa reverse diauxie metabolism: Implications for consortia interactions and antibiotic sensitivity

Last week, 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐬𝐨𝐧 from Montana State University shared his fascinating insights on the contrarian reverse diauxie metabolism of 𝘗. 𝘢𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘢, an opportunistic pathogen that defies the classic norms of substrate prioritization in microbial metabolism.

A big thank you to Prof. Carlson for an engaging session, and to everyone who joined us for this insightful discussion!
