You can't have your cake and eat it

Overview
The aroma of flavoured sponge cake is modified following storage in a glass container or paper and plastic packaging, say French scientists, who combined solid-phase microextraction with GC-olfactometry to compare the aroma barrier properties of the packaging materials.

I have long maintained that a good chemist should also be a good cook. Chemical recipes tend to be quite precise about the quantities of reagents to add and to drift from the exact formula can have dire consequences on the yield of the final product. Conversely, you can get away with murder when you bake a cake. How much is a cup of sugar or a pinch of salt? Follow a reasonable approximation of the recipe and you can still produce a masterpiece.

Blind as a Bat: A Case of Mind vs. Body:

Almost 40 years before the publication of “Mind and Cosmos,” the philosopher Thomas Nagel laid out the difficulties scientists face in trying to explain how the human brain gives rise to consciousness. His essay, as influential as any in the philosophy of mind, is called “What Is It Like to Be a Bat?”

By emitting “rapid, subtly modulated, high-frequency shrieks” and comparing them with the echoes, Dr. Nagel wrote, bats create a finely detailed, three-dimensional mental map of their world. But we humans are fundamentally incapable of imagining — and understanding — the animal’s inner life. Subjective experience, he concluded, is irreducible to physical terms. And so even the most precise theory of the brain can never fully account for the existence of mental phenomenon.

The Dangers of Waiting Too Long to File Your Personal Injury Claim  
 
After an accident, the first thought is usually to get medical help and try to recover. Trying to balance between doctor appointments and the recovery process tends to put a lot on one’s plate. There is also the issue of trying to file for a personal injury suit to claim damages for injuries sustained.
