- mcv 7y agoThat doesn't make it any better. We know the blob is a slime mold and slime holds are protists. They're weird and mysterious, sure, but the article makes it sound like this is a completely new and unnamed discovery. They're very careful to avoid the words 'slime mold' and 'protist', which really should be in there.
- slowmovintarget 7y agoThat's my point. An article would explain why the claims hold true and summarize what is actually known about the organism. What's linked is a couple of paragraphs that seems to regurgitate some copy from elsewhere. It isn't reporting, and it is isn't an article, where they present a story of interest. It's just a press release for the museum, seemingly copied, and ought to be identified as such.
