Field notes
The homepage gives readers several routes into the collection: a featured question, topic shelves, search, and a quiz asking which paper they are. Its visible example describes engineers filming cats drinking in slow motion and finding that they pull up a small column of water. The site labels its collection as 200 papers and says it features a new paper each day.
