Proof That You Don’t Need a Brain to Be a Genius!
What can something called “slime mold” have to teach us about our own special
kind of genius? Well, this otherworldly organism is changing the way we think
about what intelligence looks like!
Have you ever looked at another creature and wondered what they were thinking? What’s going on in your cat’s little brain? What’s the fish pondering down there in that pond? We barely understand the minds of other people, let alone other creatures’, but this biologist is looking to find the answers. And her first subject? Well, it’s a clever little weirdo. Strange thing is, it doesn’t even have a brain!
