Back to active matter; a new study I played a small role in as an experimentalist is now out in @naturephysics.bsky.social. We find statistical signatures pointing to universal features of active systems, including conformal invariance: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our framework explaining why ecological interactions change between contexts is out in Ecology Letters! A lovely collaboration with @saramitri.bsky.social which provides experimentally-testable links between the physiology and ecology of microbes. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New(ish) paper out: It's not just the Rohirrim who fight better when mobile. We combine active matter theory with experiments to explore the impact of bacterial motility on short-range weapons. And it's big - we find up to a 10,000x enhancement of weapon efficacy! doi.org/10.1093/isme...
