[reshsamech]

Slime molds are not icky lady, Even the kid knows that.

[leusdapogi01]

i love the second girl =3 :)) <3

[Zeanu]

All they do is eat and move~

Aw so cute. Wish she was my daughter.

[skatman572]

i wonder what would it feel like to have slime mold crawling over a dudes penis

[JustRockItOut]

@skatman572 .......what the fuck?

[OliveJewel]

she reminds me of lindsay lohan

I live in NC... and we've had a lot of rain this spring into early summer...and yep, I have had the dog vomit slime mold the size of a pizza (like the girl says).

I've cleaned it up and then by the next morning, it's back!!

Not that I want a drought, but, it might be nice to have a few dry days so that this bright yellow goop will go away! :>)

[videochick770]

wow! fascinating. i believe i have seen this stuff "in the wild" but not lately.

[supersebas1981]

I had a slime mold pet. I fed it with oats

[kutyusREX]

now why haven't I seen one anywhere in texas?

[steffankaizer]

i have never been to America but texas sounds like one of the warmer places they like it cold and damp you should look near the ground in a forest or anywhere real mushrooms tend to life

[TreeHandThing]

I used to have one as a pet when i was like 8, then my mom got mad at me, said it was vomit, put hand sanitizer on it, stepped on it, cut it, and threw it away.

[videochick770]

LOL! I bet it divided into a million pieces and is still alive somewhere : P

[TheBlackLobo]

Not to be mean, but that girl sounds like she's being told what to say through flash cards off-screen. But slime molds are just absolutely fascinating.

[videochick770]

disagree.

[masis509]

[videochick770]

[collinbollin]

[Shimimarukuun]

translation please?

[Shimimarukuun]

how does the little girl know all this stuff, but the scientist is an idiot?

[videochick770]

the scientist was giving the young scientist a chance to show her knowledge.

[manyonerise]

My pet slime mold can dance! Of course, it's only to REALLY slow music. 5 stars!!

[videochick770]

LOL!

[MartySchrader]

Slime molds? Kinda like Republicans? Oops -- wrong venue.

"Eat and move." Well, one more thing than my cat does!

[videochick770]

resemblance to politicians living or dead is entirely coincidental! ; ]

[videochick770]

: ))

[chopin65]

I am so glad you are showing young girls in science. Teach kids they can be anything regardless of who they are. Very cool. I also think slime moulds are cool too.

[videochick770]

thank you so much! i don't believe i have heard from you for a while. i hope things are well.

[bonpain]

Slime mould, my new fav creature. Informative!

[bonpain]

5*s

[videochick770]

: )

[zerocharisma25]

Ha I should get out more!!

[vidular]

Interesting, she really knew her topic well, good interview.

[videochick770]

thanks...yes, Maggie is a young science keener...we will be looking for more kids like her. : )

[lolaknows]

Very interesting Kathy.

[videochick770]

thanks tammy!

[Angeltsu]

:o i had never see one of those before, i'll see if i can found one around here in Chile x3U

[videochick770]

i had seen it in wild places before...and i did think it was from a dog...

[wyllieohagan]

Great video.

It is wonderful to see a youngster so informed, so enthused and so able to communicate.

[videochick770]

yeah we're looking at doing this with more kids...they are very bright!

[suburbanmom]

They just "grow" places? Hmmm!

[videochick770]

lol...yeah i don't know how they reproduce...the 10 year old is the expert here....

[SwtSug3742]

She's 10 years old?!? Wow, I feel dumb now...

[videochick770]

but at least the future is in good hands! : )

[SwtSug3742]

Hmmm... Maybe I should ditch being a volunteer at Science North and go here... Alot more interesting stuff.

[videochick770]

we like it...but don't slag science north!

[DrZarkloff]

I'm glad that I installed the ultra-violet light in my air conditioner to kill mold.

[videochick770]

: )

[plasmaice84]

You growing mary jane in there?LOL JK

Did you really have mold?

[mylilsin]

I love icky stuff!!!! I never thought of mold as moving...especially like a caterpillar...all those horror movies were right!!! AHhhhhHhHH.

[videochick770]

hee hee

[ShortbusMooner]

I've seen them, in the woods of OH. You don't see too much of this, so far south, as I am now. It's too damn dry, here!

Yummy! LOL! ;)

[videochick770]

i believe these infested Texas so badly one time that people thought it was actually an alien invasion...it was Texas that got this young girl interested.

[ShortbusMooner]

I never thought much about them- just figured it was another forest fungus. Now, I'd be interested to see what the effects of global warming are going to have on such a species. (???)

[plasmaice84]

There's some in the norwalk:Pleasant St. Woods still. Under the old decreped bridge about a half a mile down the river.
