Welcome back! A few weeks ago, I linked to an article about elephants. Apparently, elephants use names when talking with each other. This week, it’s marmoset monkeys that use names. There’s also links to articles about pocket forests, how London accents have evolved over 600 years, what we look like to mosquitos, and an electric version of my favorite kind of plane, a floatplane. And the kind of paper most likely to give you paper cuts. Ouch. Enjoy and thank you for reading today.
