Andre Braugher is hilarious in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but I first got to know his work through Braugher's performance as Frank Pembleton in Homicide: Life on the Street. It's a show worth revisiting, not least to watch a very talented actor at the top of his game.

"The humor is pitch-black, and the overriding tone is one of cynicism—the perfect match for post-austerity, post-Brexit, post–Boris Johnson Britain.

"Heuer et al. then set out to find which computational model of evolution was able to recreate the anatomies of the cerebellums found in the different mammalian species. They found that a stabilising model – that is, when animals that are straying away from their common ancestor randomly evolve back to these initial properties – worked best. Using this model, Heuer et al. estimated that the organism most mammals descended from probably had a cerebellum similar to the one found in an animal known as the rock hyrax (Figure 1B)."
