Due to its technical content, some may be unaware that the author of TFA, Claire L. Evans, is a bona fide rock star: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claire_L._Evans with a grammy nomination and everything: https://www.grammy.com/artists/claire-l-evans/280302 . There are not many out there recognized for both music and science writing.. :-)

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I’m going to read her book “Broad band” on women that made the internet.

You're welcome.

If you are interested in more background on biological brains, c.elegans is really just "the very first breakthrough" (in the phraseology of Max Bennett's A Brief History Of Intelligence -- a recent, worthwhile popular science book).
