SUMMARY:The Emergent Collective Behavior of Bacteria Under Stress\, R.
  G. Herb Condensed Matter Seminar\, Robert Austin\, Princeton
DESCRIPTION:Outside the ivied halls of the academy\, Darwinian evoluti
 on and competition puts an enormous selection pressure on organisms.  
 Although physicists tend to think of bacteria as being rather simple e
 ntities living rather solitary and brief lives\, our experience has be
 en that under high stress complex environments and at high concentrati
 ons they initiate complex\, cryptic signaling and information exchange
  whose purposes we at this point can only guess at.  I’ll present ex
 periments showing the complexity of the signals that bacteria exchange
  under stress\, and try to provide some sort of a model to understand 
 the purposes of this emergent collective behavior.
