Slime Mold: It's Alive
Director and producer Tim Grabham teaches us about slime mold, a strange, naturally occurring (and often dazzlingly yellow) organism that grows, moves, lives for decades, and even hibernates when circumstances require. In his new film "The Creeping Garden," Grabham describes slime mold's primitive problem-solving intelligence.Â
