Fascinating research and a story well told! Thanks for sharing. I am embarking on the isolation and characterization of surface colonizing bacteria and may be in touch to learn about your fluidics / imaging system.

Dear Roland,

Nice to e-meet you on Nature Portfolio.

Glad to know you find the bacterial zorbing work and our under-oil system interesting. Please just let me know whenever you're available and what to have a chat about bacteria.

Best,
Chao
