DESCRIPTION:In nature\, bacteria often engage in a range of collective beh
 aviours\, which coordinate activities of communities. In this presentation
 \, I will demonstrate how two bacterial behaviours\, swarming and biofilm 
 formation\, are unified by physical interactions\, chemical signalling\, a
 nd dynamical transitions. I will show how these collective behaviours aris
 e from cell-cell interactions\, and the physiological state of individual 
 cells. Furthermore\, I will introduce new experimental methods for investi
 gating bacterial collective behaviours.
