Ah, to be a researcher in the age of microbiomes and genetic sequencing. Everybody knows there are a few Nobels to be had from it, but it'll take a few decades to see which lines of inquiry take the field into entirely novel directions.

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

A king can stand people's fighting, but he can't last long if people start thinking. -Will Rogers, humorist

A look under the hood at the work going into improved plant-based eggs. They're one of the hardest things for people with allergies to replace, so there's a potentially big market for this outside of the vegan world.

I've always wished we had "smell-o-rama" (or, more entertainingly, "aromarama") or its taste equivalent on this forum. Interesting that someone's getting closer to the concept. Thanks!
