There are two simple ways to construct new surface bundles over surfaces from old ones, namely, we can connect sum along the base or the fiber. In joint work with Inanc Baykur, we construct explicit surface bundles over surfaces that are indecomposable in both senses. This is achieved by first translating the problem into one about embeddings of surface groups into mapping class groups.
