Who nose why skin's the way it is

Today I read about an interaction between two occupants of the human microbiome. The authors really do their findings a disservice by repeatedly referring to them in the context of the "nostril microbiome". What they really discuss is Staphylococcus aureus and various species of Propionibacterium. Both can be found in a variety of skin locations and especially on the face. Propionibacterium - and especially P. acne - is famous for causing the inflammation associated with all manner of nasty skin conditions. S. aureus is famous for causing many similar but often more medically worrisome infections. This paper shows how they might work together.*

Long story short: it's coproporphyrin III. Propionibacterium produces it and S. aureus uses it as a sign to start making biofilms.  A biofilm phenotype can improve survival in the face of the immune system, antibiotics, or even just physical stress.

*Anthropomorphism is to be avoided when discussing microbes. The English language, unfortunately, offers many opportunities for anthropomorphism-based rhetoric. In this case, "work together" is a bit misleading as this may not be a coordinated biological phenomenon. It may simply result from one species releasing a molecule and another species noticing it.

I just found out about the BioFabric project today. It claims to offer a networking visualization method superior to traditional node and edge graphs. Nearly anything is preferable to a hairball network so I'm fairly intrigued, plus their quick demonstration looks neat. I'm starting to work with some very large networks (approaching 50,000 edges, at least) so it's nice to have visualization options.

A post I came across on the StackExchange English Language and Usage forum today asked the following question:
Is there a word or phrase that means to plant my idea in someone else’s mind so they think it is their own idea?
This is immediately followed by a mention of Inception, of course. I'm wondering if the verb incept couldn't be used for such a task. Transitively, it's an occasional synonym for ingest, though I haven't heard it used that way in recent memory.

Others on the forum suggested insinuate, brainwash, inculate, and suggest. Most of these don't seem quite right as they only include one half of the exchange of ideas; I might suggest or insinuate something without successfully landing the idea in your mind. Inculate is a historical euphemism in English and a current one in Italian, so that one's not ideal either.

The limiting factor is, as usual, mutual intelligibility.
