Spinosaurus with an Attitude (Season 5: Episode 6)

Welcome to Science Research Weekly, Season 5, Episode 6. Get ready for quorum sensing for bacterial engineering, an antibiotic-resistant microbe on ice, a new scimitar-crested spinosaurid, planetesimal snowmen, sheepox viral evolution, the fate of horizontally acquired genes, the R Journal Volume 17/4, and a grant for Feed the Future innovation labs.
