*Bacteria network themselves together by growing tiny iron wires, and then they ship electricity around *between species*? Like freakin' bacterial electrical utilities, this is what you're telling me? And they've been doing this since the early pre-Paleolithic and this is the first time we ever got around to noticing?
"Demonstrating that bacteria can communicate using integrated neurobiological circuitry will be no easy feat, but success in this pursuit will fundamentally change our understanding of microbial physiology and ecology."
*That's quite a claim, pal. Especially if bacteria are doing that on our skin and in our guts right now. You be sure to get back to us on any research progress in this area, won't you? Thanks for writing.
