Dissipation-Enhanced Adaptation and Cooperative Sensing in Bacterial Chemotaxis

Explore a seminar talk by David Hathcock examining the relationship between dissipation, adaptation, and cooperative sensing mechanisms in bacterial chemotaxis as part of the Biological Physics/Physical Biology (BPPB) seminar series scheduled for April 11, 2025. Delve into how energy dissipation enhances bacterial navigation systems and the cooperative sensing strategies that allow bacteria to detect and respond to chemical gradients in their environment. This 25-minute presentation offers insights into the physical principles underlying microbial movement and sensory adaptation.
