I just emailed someone and got this amazing out of office reply:
"Hello, I will be out of office from April 16th to May 1st, stepping away to fully commit to the responsible consumption of seasonal mangoes."

Stress-baking will continue until morale improves. Samuel Smith's chocolate stout, espresso, & sour cream cake.
I came to say what Kevin already said. +1 on 00 flour and a long ferment (2-3 hrs at RT, & at least overnight or more in the refrigerator). Adding a little bit of yogurt to your dough leaves it better and also gives a bit of flavor. I do even up to 20% of the flour weight. And, be generous with oil.
It is a bit insane that the Artemis II crew started from the earth, flew around the moon, and came back to the earth, faster than it takes for the journals to send your paper out for review.
Stress-baking for the lab, to prevent myself from spontaneously combusting because of the job market. Strawberry compote & cream cheese bundt cake.
I just got my ND summary statement today. And this hits on a whole new level.
I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.
If the number e is named after Euler
should it be pronounced “oi”
Amazing! Introspection is the base idea of mysticism and perhaps all known religions, which definitely are thousands of years old.
No one said you can't bake a Basque cheesecake in a pie crust.

Holy smoke. What ultimately happened???
Something tells me alligators don't like ice tea on their waffles.
Good opportunity for a grad student looking to get some industry experience before they graduate:

Get involved with protein expression, purification, biochemical and biophysical assays, and get familiar with the process of drug discovery!
Content with how my favorite Persian love cake turned out. Nutty & tender crumb with a flavor profile of orange, rose, & cardamom.
I began speaking in tongues around the 1400s.
This is A-level parenting! Best way to learn about a place!

I made this a year or so ago for our department pie contest. Filled with minced lamb biryani. I'm sure you'll like it.
What if it is a savory pie filled with lamb biryani?
Donuts.
My first ion channel study, a decade after I started working on membrane proteins. We report the cryo-EM structure of TWIK-2 & develop a high-throughput automated patch clamp e-phys assay to screen modulars of TWIK-2 channel activity. A great collaborative team effort.

What a fucking end to the week. Loss of a literal legend. Moira Rose was one of my most favorite characters in the entirety of TV/film world.

Science is, certainly, not okay. Talk to ECRs and early-mid career people in academic science, especially immigrants. They're all a drink and nudge away from breaking down while sobbing. Actually, right now, it is the worst and hopeless time to be looking for a future or a stable career in academia.

@vikasnavaratna.bsky.social This is right up your alley! farzanashaju.github.io/how-does-ind...
Haven't read it fully, yet! Sounds interesting...
What if I told you you're not the first person to send me this today. I'm happy to have a brand. Lol. One critique I have is that they don't argue Hyderabadi biryani is the best, based on their model!! I was hoping that to be the conclusion, lol.
I guess the algorithm doesn't really like food pics.
