Presentation
"There are living things here on Earth worth a look.
Physarum Polycephalum is quite strange. It moves; it hunts, it eats. Yet it lives as a single cell, which despite having no brain, can solve remarkable problems.
Physarum is not an animal.
Physarum is not a plant.
Physarum is not a fungus.
It is its own peculiar genus.It has been here for many many millions of years.
Maybe it's hard to argue with a good design that has kept on evolving across eons of species extinctions. This mainly an introduction to creatures we may not have been much aware of."

...Because the acquisition of clean water in our town is not only a science, but a necessity, especially in the San Miguel de Allende area:
SMA Rotary Club rests upon a foundation of compassion and science, so it too gets a heads up from SciTechNature.
