Important follow up question? What popular dance moves could an elephant do? The Charleston, the mashed potato, the twist, or flossing for example? Can you teach an elephant how to Dougie? Or a choreographed routine such as the macarena, chicken dance, or hokey pokey?

Edit: jazz hands, spirit fingers, and Bollywood are unlikely as elephants lack hands to perform the requisite movements. Twerking is on the table though, but perhaps not literally.

I'd prefer the color scheme reversed. Dark= dense

Water covers rock. Rock crushes bird. Bird drinks water.

Motor units (and single muscle cells) are almost operating as on/off. There is some minor modulation possible with changes in firing frequency. Each muscle has many (typically >>100) motor units varying in size, each with an on/off switch. The net result of having so many motor units is the muscle behaves as if it is operating with a dimmer switch.

This also helps us regulate muscle force output more like a dimmer switch rather than an on off switch.

This is incorrect. Our muscles fire in a mosaic pattern, not as fascicles. Fibre type grouping occurs in disease and aging when muscle fibres lose innervation and become reinnervated by near neighbours resulting in the regional firing patterns you describe.

Edit: an advantage of mosiac firing pattern is that it spreads the stresses across the muscle rather than generating regions of high local stresses. Fascicles (i.e., the perimysium) help transmit the stresses from fibres to tendons.

Why isn't there a Rodney Dangerfield movie about this? (Or perhaps there is one and I just don't know about it)

They're in the acknowledgements section after the references.

You forgot to acknowledge Tom Nijssen, Olle Odijk, Tim Reimes, and Dolf Rutten.

You're 100% right. I forgot that it wasn't a closed system. I'll sit in the corner with my dunce cap on for a while.

Diamonds are transparent, but not very reflective.

[“Everybody knows that diamonds are the most reflective material on earth,” Strebe told artnet News]

Are we just going to ignore this statement?

What if it's too late for this advice?

This also needs labels on the right side. And it's interesting how TX, CA, & NY have so many high school dropouts relative to the in-graph neighbouring states.

He can Frick off.

I have no sense of scale here.

I assumed it was more than they started with.

Can't shorten, but ELI5:

Nice scientists grew a lot of blood out of a little bit of blood. They gave this blood to people who don't have enough blood. The scientists are waiting to see if the blood they grew will help the people they gave it to.

Can't decide if you're making a joke about bloated corpses or a comment on the economy. Pehaps both?

Gretchen, stop trying to make Mulva happen. It's not going to happen.
