Shruthi Magesh from the Handlesman lab (which I inferred when I saw Handlesman taking a photo of her student, such a great #ProudPI moment) tells us a fascinating story about multi-species biofilms. Love the name of the communities, zorbs, from: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Social motility of biofilm-like microcolonies in a gliding bacterium - Nature Communications
Bacterial biofilms are aggregates of surface-associated cells embedded in an extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) matrix. Here, the authors describe a unique mode of collective movement by self-propelle...

Very proud of the team effort that went into this! UG’s Stef De Castro (pKA) and Brooke Morton (13C- NMR), wonderfully mentored by recently minted PhD Amer El-Samman (logS)! It was the smoking gun for us that embeddings from GCNNs could learn actual chemistry #ProudPI
The Canadian Journal of Chemistry Best Paper Award recognizes the “best paper” published in the volume year of the Canadian Journal of Chemistry (CJC). Congrats to Amer El-Samman & @cortogantese.bsky.social of the University of New Brunswick on being the recipients of this award. buff.ly/5RkYtx1
