Something useful I learned with this timelapse is how difficult it can be to manipulate the slime mold. I tried using different arrangements and amounts of oat in each dish but at the end every dish turned out different than expected. | Something useful I learned with this timelapse is how difficult it can be to manipulate the slime mold.
