The simplest organisms can still accomplish wonders.

Inspired by biological design and self-organizing systems, artist Heather Barnett co-creates with physarum polycephalum, a eukaryotic microorganism that lives in cool, moist areas. What can people learn from the semi-intelligent slime...

Science isn't always a straightforward process. Here are 6 seemingly odd but absolutely creative ways researchers have approached their subjects.

We might be able to use slime molds to help predict the shape of matter in the universe, and the Rosetta mission may have figured out why many comets seem to be missing a bunch of nitrogen.

Get introduced to protists and fungi with the Amoeba Sisters! This video explores basic cell type, mode of feeding, habitat examples, and ecology of both protists and fungi. This video also mentions a few examples of how protists and...

The medical industry has developed countless methods and tools for diagnosing the myriad of illnesses that can befall us. This, as you might guess, includes cancer. But it took a research team five months to diagnose this specific cancer...

Everyone loves slime... until it starts coming out of someone's nose, then all of a sudden it's "gross." But this slimy stuff is also really important to the lives of many animals, including humans!

Paul Andersen surveys organisms in the protists. He reviews the diversity found within the domain Eukarya and explains that the Kindgom Protista is simple a junk drawer for organisms that don't fit elsewhere.

Slime molds look gross and... not smart, but they definitely seem to communicate and plan even without neurons. Michael explains the science behind these clever eukaryotes.

Hank veers away from human anatomy to teach us about the (mostly) single-celled organisms that make up two of the three taxonomic domains of life, and one of the four kingdoms: Archaea, Bacteria, and Protists. They are by far the most...

This video is an introduction to the topic of fungus-like protists and their impact on Irish society during the potato famine. This video is part of the 11-part series, Classifying Monerans and Protists.

The diverse groups of microorganisms in the Kingdom Protista are illustrated in this video. Microscopic views compare the main categories of protists. the different phyla of algae are also discussed. Other terminology includes: protozoa,...

Let's dive into the branching weirdness of the pulsating slime molds!

Paul Stamets is a mycologist, author and advocate of bioremediation and medicinal fungi. In this animation he describes the incredible properties of fungi as well as an overview of how mushrooms could have played a massive role in the...

Upon viewing the Microscopic Life video series, students will be able to do the following: Understand that only during the past few hundred years have people been able to see and study very small life forms, generally referred to as...
