Incredibly proud to share this work, almost 6 years in the making, out in @ScienceMagazine!!! 🎇 We've known for over a century that eukaryotes of all kinds anticipate the seasons (think: hibernation, flowering, reproduction), but what about bacteria?🦠 science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Bacteria can anticipate the seasons: Photoperiodism in cyanobacteria

Photoperiodic time measurement is the ability of plants and animals to measure differences in day versus night length (photoperiod) and use that information to anticipate critical seasonal transfor...
