    Hi Heather,

    Great to meet you the other week in London.

    Would you be interested in sending a high quality image or two of a slime mould experiment/art you have been working on that we could include in our exhibition?  Are any possibly for sale that would benefit from being displayed?  Thank you, Rosie

    Hi Heather,


    My name is Gus, a postdoc researcher at Dartmouth College, USA, working on Biocomputing. Our group just stepped in this field and want to discover how different sound/music affect the growth of slime mode. I like you Ted talk and your comments in "the creeping garden"!
     

    Do you know any agar plate (especially prepared ones) can grow Physarum Polycephalum without using oats? I see that normally people have to put oats in the agar, but for my experiment, I'd rather not use oat because it will block/affect the shape. In other words, I am looking for agar plates where the nutrition evenly mixed with the agar is enough for the growth. Could you give me some advice? 

     
    Thanks a lot!
    Gus
