Are any members of ASTEWG interested in investigating slime mold. 
It has no neurons but exhibits puzzle solving behavior.
If so, I would like to exchange ideas from an SE perspective on this WG

Recently on slimoco...

 

Welcome to all new members of The Slime Mould Collective, a portal for people working with and interested in slime moulds to share activity and find common interests - a self-organising system of knowledge distribution and problem solving across disciplinary and academic boundaries.
Please use it as you wish (within the bounds of decency!)

EVENTS / HAPPENINGS...

 

If you’re in London this Sunday I'll be in conversation with Natalia Zagorska-Thomas at Studio ExPurgamento, Camden, about interspecies creativity, control and authorship when working with living organisms, as part of the exhibition Call of the Wild. The event is free but space is limited so please rsvp to reserve a place. There will be drinks. Hope to see you there...
