"With Alma the world has lost a visionary scientist. [...] Her vision, spirit and leadership have profoundly changed many around her and will continue to be a source of inspiration for many years to come."

Thank you @simon_vanvliet & Martin Ackermann

The outpouring of grief and support from the local and wider community is a testament to how deeply Alma touched us all. We hope to transmit those personal messages to her family and we started compiling an electronic memory book available here: https://t.co/yIZybJWofp

We're devastated by the sudden loss of our dear colleague Alma Dal Co. Alma's brilliant mind and joyful energy livened up all our meetings. Her passion for life and science will continue to inspire us. Our thoughts go to her family and loved ones. We already miss her terribly.

[Dal Co Lab @DalCo_Lab]

Today we commemorated Alma with many colleagues and friends at @dbc_unil. The broad support and kind messages we received are a true testament of the love she spread around.

From afar, if you want to leave a message to honor Alma's memory, please check : https://t.co/joRePV1avF

It is with immense sadness that we share the recent death of our PI @Alma_DalCo. We lost an inspiring scientist & a kind, generous, cheerful and caring mentor. We will remember her contagious enthusiasm, her passion for science and her energy

We already miss her tremendously

[Dal Co Lab @DalCo_Lab]

Her first experiment was already successful! 😎🙏
Looking forward to all the fun experiments to come!

[Dal Co Lab @DalCo_Lab]

We're very happy to host @nieves_lpg (PhD student in @type3lab) in Lausanne for 2 months!

We are now setting up microfluidics experiments with Pseudomonas syringae! 🔬🧫 Exciting to have another plant pathogen in the lab 🤩🌱🦠

[Dal Co Lab @DalCo_Lab]

Last week was a bit special for the lab! We had to celebrate 🎉🥳
✅ 1-year anniversary of the @DalCo_Lab
✅ Big grant won by @Alma_DalCo

Looking forward for more fun and great science in this second year!!🦠🔬😁

@BenMansfeld @JSLuneau But also:
3- How 2 strains affect each other's growth
4- What is the range of interactions between cells

For example metabolic interactions: https://t.co/btg2EFYPCC

or quorum-sensing: https://t.co/IppYCWjCrW

[Dal Co Lab @DalCo_Lab]

We have a newcomer in the lab!

The plant pathogen #Xanthomonas campestris is settling just fine in our microfluidics chambers😁

Plenty of cool experiments to come @JSLuneau!

[Dal Co Lab @DalCo_Lab]

@BenMansfeld @JSLuneau We image and track single cells in space and time, so we usually look at:
1- how bacteria respond to environmental fluctuations
2- how gradients derived from cell activity in the chamber affect gene expression (w/ fluorescent reporters)

For example: https://t.co/l5LJvEPq0d
