Ever since reading the bit about bacteria species hunting E. coli in "The Tangled Bank" my fascination for bacteria was revived. This fascination carries me through "The Machinery of Life" these days. Thanks for embedding this great talk here! Intriguing!

What an incredible collection of speeches and performances! None are over 18 minutes in length, and cover many topics that I'm sure your readers will enjoy. ted.com is now just below The Loom in my favorites list!

I am going to have to know more about this. So I just ordered the book. If it doesn't live up to my expectations I'm going to eat it though. This is great stuff.

This is a very good book, terrific research. Thanks Carl. Bassler's talk is fascinating. Anti-quorum sensing molecule - not quite a catchy name though. (antiquosmole? and proquosmole?)
