Juan will be speaking at HKUST IAS’s workshop on “Physics Approach on Simplifying Complexity in Biology” to be held in Hong Kong December 15-19 . From the program: “Both conventional physics and conventional biology fail to get at the heart of what makes biological systems such a unique state of matter…”.

Hol et al accepted!

Felix, Thias et al. work “Nutrient-responsive regulation determines biodiversity in a colicin-mediated bacterial community.” on Colicin, RPS, no-RPS and other curiosities has been accepted in BMC Biology. Congrats to all who make it happen!

Dr. Hol

Congratulations to Felix Hol who is now Dr. Hol. His Ph.D. Thesis was titled “Bacterial Societies: cooperation, colonization & competition in micro-scale ecosystems” (TUD 2014). Felix, is now doing a postdoc at the TU Delft.

GRC canceled

Unfortunately the GRC on Complex Adaptive Matter was canceled. We expext news from the organizers to set up a new date for another conference on the subject. Will keep you posted.
