Agarose gel drying out during experiment

Hi,I am trying to do an experiment about the extracellular slime trails and external memory of physarum polycephalum. For that I am using 1-2% agar in petri dishes but some of the newly made ones are just a couple of days old and they have already evaporated. It starts with the agarose gel getting wrinkly and then water vapor gets to the lid of the petri.

I also put the container in a…See More

What is your interest in slime moulds? (we need to know you're not a bot or spamster)
I am a high school student at NTI Gymnasiet in Gothenburg Sweden who is interested in studying slime molds for high school thesis. It is a a really cool subject that I learned about not too long ago by watching videos and researching articles online. Upon realising they have many intelligent capabilities I knew I wanted to study them in more detail.
