It’s the top of this list right now but will move down - search for the first word, “Egghead.” It’s about a 300-million-year-old fossil brain. That’s really old. Soft tissue doesn’t usually get preserved, but they found this one with the crazy bright x-rays of a synchrotron. [...] [...] Today I wrote an extremely teensy story for ScienceNOW.

I've only had rudimentary science classes, but I can tell you what a human stomach does (which, I assume, is the subject of Stomachion).
