    I will be arranging a slimoco meet up in London sometime soon, for people to share their research and interests in slime moulds, open to all disciplines and backgrounds. Date and venue to be decided.

    If interested in coming along to share what you do and meet others, please leave a message here...

    Hi heather, I'm an artist based in London and came across your amazing ted talk which got
    Me looking into slime mould. I'd be really
    Keen to come to your next meeting. In the mean time so I have stuff to discuss I'd love to get mine growing but I'm not sure how to begin.. Any tips to activate the dried culture and how much oatmeal
    Agar to put down and water etc would be really appreciated.

    Hi Emilie, Welcome to slimoco. Dried culture usually comes back to life by adding water (distilled or cooled boiled water best) and then once it starts wriggling (a few hours later) add an oat or two. It doesn't always reawaken from dormant state. If you get stuck I'll be running some slime mould workshops in March (in London and Edinburgh - dates will be posted soon) so you could get a live culture then. Once the plasmodium is creeping any damp substrate will do.

    Hi Heather,

    Count me in. Would be really interesting to meet other people working or wanting to work with slime mould. I very much enjoyed/ appreciated the last London event attended. Keep us posted. Rosie
