Trying to anticipate how bacteria will spread is like predicting the flight of a leaf in a windstorm — it’s complicated and chaotic. However, a new #FlatironCCB study presents a computational method for predicting how bacteria navigate obstacles: https://www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/03/21/new-model-predicts-how-bacteria-navigate-obstacles-to-spread/ #science #biology

How do our brain cells interact to pull off the symphony of activity needed to solve problems, create or learn? The Simons Collaboration on the Global Brain has investigated these questions for over a decade. As the collaboration enters its final year, its members reflect on how their work has reshaped the field: https://www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/05/29/scgb-scientists-reflect-on-11-years-of-progress-in-systems-neuroscience/ #science #neuroscience
