  1. 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!

  7. 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

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 Oh hey - found an archived version of the #Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article from 2010 about my #KitchenChemistry course.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

  10. - 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.

  11. @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.

  12. what would be really interesting is to throw something like chamomile tea into the mix, in order to get some of the relaxing effect of a drink in there. #KitchenScience
