Science FridayHow Do Bacteria Talk To Each Other?Bacteria have been around for billions of years. Could they have come up with complex behaviors that we just don’t understand yet? Could they have their own language? Their own culture? Their own complex societies playing out right under, and in, our noses?
Microbiologist Bonnie Bassler has been studying these questions for more than 30 years. She talks with Host Flora Lichtman about the wild world of bacterial communication, and how understanding microbes could help us understand ourselves.

Night Science39 | Bonnie Bassler and living on the edge in a nerdy kind of wayBonnie Bassler is the Chair of the Molecular Biology Department at Princeton. In this episode, Bonnie talks about her passion for scientific inquiry, creativity, mentorship, and how the journey of discovery is about asking the right questions, distinguishing between what you can do and what you should do, and about embracing the unexpected. In our very lively and fun discussion, we explore the significance of asking "why" questions to fuel passion and curiosity – even if only the if/what/when/how questions lead to clear answers – and we expl...2023-08-1438 min

A retrospective into Meet the Microbiologist with Merry Buckley and Carl ZimmerWe pull back the curtain as former show hosts Merry Buckley and Carl Zimmer talk Meet the Scientist origins, favorite interviews and microbial topics. Julie’s Biggest Takeaways: Though the show started before podcasts were as popular as they are now, this didn’t pose a problem for Merry or Carl when soliciting guests - scientists were happy to have their work featured and to discuss their research. Inviting guests may involve bringing in a mix of experienced and early-career researchers, but both Merry and Carl agreed that the science is the major deci...2019-01-2531 min
RadioScience#42 Chit-chatting with bacteriaDrugs that stop bacteria from talking might be new, powerful antibiotics – a much needed weapon in our never-ending struggle against bacterial infections. On the other hand, drugs that make bacteria chat more could boost the production of biofuels and other industrial goods that bacteria make for us. In 1990 a young Bonnie Bassler, mesmerized by glow-in-the-dark bacteria that could talk to their peers to coordinate light production, wondered whether other bacteria could talk too. The answer, she soon found out, was yes – including all the nasty bacteria that cause disease. Today, Bonnie Bassler is a professor in molecular biolog...2016-10-0733 minRadioScience#41 BakteriesnackLäkemedel som hindrar bakterierna från att prata med varandra kan bli en ny sorts kraftfull antibiotika - ett vapen som vi verkligen skulle behöva i vår eviga kamp mot bakterieinfektioner. Å andra sidan skulle vi också ha nytta av att kunna få bakterier att prata mer med varandra. Till exempel för att boosta produktionen av biobränslen och annat som bakterier kan tillverka åt oss. 1990 började en ung Bonnie Bassler, som var helt uppslukad av att självlysande bakterier kunde prata med sina kompisar, och koordinera sitt lysande, undra om andra bakterier också kunde snack...2016-10-0734 min

Meet the MicrobiologistMTS53 - Bonnie Bassler - The Bacterial WiretapIn this podcast I talk to Bonnie Bassler, a professor at Princeton and the president-elect of the American Society for Microbiology.
Bassler studies the conversations that bacteria have, using chemicals instead of words, Her research is not only helping to reveal how bacteria work together to make us sick, but also how we might interrupt their dialogue in order to cure infections.
