Аннотация:Abstract Bonnie L. Bassler, Ph.D. is the 2022 recipient of the Wolf Prize in Chemistry, a highly honored, prestigious award given to the world's foremost scientists. Among her colleagues, students, and trainees, Bonnie is known for her innate curiosity, shrewd mind, and exuberant personality that collectively distinguish her in the scientific world. Those of us that have been taught by Bonnie – whether in the lab, the classroom, or at her unique seminars – have learned much about communication and coordination by bacteria through chemical language. We describe here our collective journeys with Bonnie, and how these have shaped our careers and perspectives in science, as well as, how in our opinion Bonnie's work and personality has inspired researchers across disciplines to become interested in Bacterial Chemical Communication.
