Paper!

Today our paper on 'microbial markets' came out, in which we argue that microbes, such as bacteria and fungi, can evolve into savvy traders that employ strategies such as buying low & selling high, hoarding of resources and ruthlessly eliminating competitors. The paper is results from a workshop I participated in in January 2012 and it has been really fun to write it!

Also, over the years I read so many papers in the journal PNAS and it's really fun to now see our own thoughts printed in their style. You can find the article here. For a better accessible description check out this natuurbericht in Dutch or this media coverage in India (!)
