Non-profits aren't motivated by quantity. Quantity is more work. Sans profit, the reward isn't the same. Non-profits are scholarly publishing 1st. Quality 1st. Both models seek growth, but for-profit publishing demands it. Creates it. Non-profit publishing only accepts it when valuable. 6/n

~800,000 years ago, a giant straight-tusked elephant, Palaeoloxodon antiquus, roamed Europe. It was about twice the size of a modern African elephant: 4 m (13 ft) at the shoulder, weighing ~13 tons. This story is NOT about these towering titans. It's about their ᴛɪɴʏ cousins. (📷: Liam Elward)
A life sized recreation next to a standard waving human silhouette, showing Palaeoxloxodon namadicus, which was slightly larger than Paleoloxodon antiquus but probably didn't enter Europe, being specific to India and parts of Asia.

We've know the hindbrain is distinct for decades—the midbrain hindbrain boundary was identified as a key signaling center back when I still had a research career. This 2012 paper cites references on the topic going back to the 1990s.

This definitely forbidden gummy is in fact a moth larva of genus Olona (possibly Olona zolotuhini). It's *normal* to want to know what flavor it is, but the answer, unfortunately is "pain". Most species in this family are covered in tiny stinging spines connected to poison glands. (📷: Janice Ang)
