In 2023 they raised an impressive $60 million for cancer research. But the NCI (at NIH) had a budget of $7.2 billion that year. Charities cannot compete.

Concatenating primate brains based solely on their size provides a 1st striking illustration of the importance of mechanical morphogenesis: despite jumping across far branches of the phylogenetic tree, the sequence is largely continuous, hinting at a common underlying organising principle.
