🏷️ Breaking News: Researchers at HORG have finally given a fancy scientific name to those pesky plastic bread bag tags you always lose in the kitchen. 🌐 Because, clearly, the world was in desperate need of a taxonomy for "Occlupanida." 🤯 Apparently, anything made of plastic can now be considered part of the esteemed "Phylum Plasticae," because why not? 😂

Using Navier-Stokes equations and simple experiments, Brown University physicists explored thin liquid films in the kitchen. Milk drains in ~30s, olive oil in 9+ min. Thin film physics everywhere!

Got my hands on some dry ice and did what any responsible grandpa would do—turn my kitchen into a low-budget horror movie for my grandson. (He loved it.)🔥💨👻

Enjoy!

Last night I made (started) pizza dough. First a chaotically shaggy mess, then an elastic mess, then shiny elastic blob. This morning it’s a huge bubble monster. I need to intervene and fold away those bubbles 🫧, awaken the elastic glutens, then cut the thing apart into quarters for a chill session. Baking, cooking, if you’re so inclined, is always interesting. #baking #yeastDough #cooking #cookery #science #kitchenScience

Oh hey - found an archived version of the #Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article from 2010 about my #KitchenChemistry course.

Somewhat flattering article I'll add (even if I'm being shameless and self-promoting). I do hope to keep at this for #SciComm and Outreach even if offering the course has gotten harder. Was a lot of work but fun (and students' joy & learning & enthusiasm kept me going those days- well, till 2017)

(May take a while to load)

- image-based analysis of the #bubble shape, velocities and so on
- even the setup looks really familiar (and is really expensive, by the way)

It is a beautiful video but also illustrates the research process we follow.

@SRDas Thats a fun idea! I didn’t think of doing experiments in my knife skills classes, but you gave me food for thought! 😉 Thanks.
Started following you and #kitchenscience , and will use #cookingclass myself.
