Key questions within the biological and biomedical sciences require an understanding of complex dynamical systems. This includes physics approaches to modeling microbial communities. This talk will focus on microbial dynamics in the context of evolving ecosystems and disease. More specifically, the talk will present the role of the microbiome--the microbes that live in and on our bodies, working in concert with our human cells to promote health or to cause disease--in light of their distributional properties and ecological dynamics.
