Abstract
ABSTRACT
Drew Bridges works in the field of bacterial signal transduction and studies the formation and disassembly of bacterial biofilms. In this mSphere of Influence article, he reflects on how the paper “Biogeography of a human oral microbiome at the micron scale” by Mark Welch et al. (J. L. Mark Welch, B. J. Rossetti, C. W. Rieken, F. E. Dewhirst, et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 113:E791–E800, 2016,
https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1522149113
) inspired him to change his research trajectory.
