SRM Live S02E19 - Intelligent Slime

This week’s episode Luna will delve into the realm of a blob that might hold secrets about our own intelligence - it can make up complete railway networks, solve mazes and even “mind”-control a robot.

The name of the blob? Slime mould.

A yellow gooey creature that scavenges the environment by stretching and pulsating its gigantic unicellular body - do not be fooled by its name, this fellow is neither a mould, nor a fungi - but something called a Protist! 🧫 Luna will be leading this interview across continents with 3 slime mould scientists: Chris Reid, Andy Adamatzky and Andrew Schumann!

Host: Luna In-studio guest: Zaki Special guests: Chris Reid, Andy Adamatzky and Andrew Schumann Tech: Sachit and Rafal
