Good to the see The Science, Art and Writing Trust @sawtrust.bsky.social on BlueSky. This amazing charity goes into schools in deprived areas to do practical science with the kids who then interpret what they learned through art and poetry. www.sawtrust.org

E. coli prepares for starvation by dramatically remodeling its proteome in the first hours after loss of nutrients It is widely believed that due to nutrient limitations in natural environments, bacteria spend most of their life in non-growing states. However, very little is known about how bacteria change their p...

What do bacterial cells do when they run out of nutrients? Although most bacterial studies focus on cells in exponentially growing states, in the wild bacteria likely spend most of their time slowly starving to death. 1/n
