The blob, a strange unicellular creature, invites itself into franceinfo junior as well as in high school Blaise-Pascal high school in Châteauroux: classes meet on Friday June 3 to merge their blob strains, hoping to break a world record for length.
To talk about it, franceinfo junior hands his microphone to Audrey Dussutour, researcher at the CNRS, specialist in the subject, who sponsors the students for this event. She answers many questions from CE2-CM2 students at the Etienne Dolet school in Alfortville in the Paris region.
At the microphone of the show, Naomie asks the first question : “How does the blob eat? It has no mouth, no eyes. It’s a bit like slime” smiled the student. Aden wants to know who the blob’s predators are. Noa wonders if “we can eat the blob”. The blob was the star of one of Thomas Pesquet’s space missions, a mission followed on Earth by students. Aden wonders if the space blob has been altered by this space experiment. Naomie finally wonders what this creature can be used for. On this page, re-listen in full to this program dedicated to the blob.
