Even though we'll miss seeing the disappearing rings this year, Saturn and the Sun have agreed to make it up to us in 13 years time with a triple plane crossing that we will be able to see 🥳. So mark these dates in your diary!

The issue of whether plastics are entering human tissues and what impacts they might have on health is of great interest. A Comment article in Nature calls for more rigorous standards, transparency and collaboration to help better understand the issue. 🧪
Are microplastics bad for your health? More rigorous science is needed
Tiny plastic particles are being found everywhere, including in the human brain. But it is not yet clear which findings can be trusted and what they might mean.

Definitely , especially when eggs in CA are so expensive.
We know how much you all were interested in the "how to perfectly boil an egg" research paper. 🙂🧪
Pellegrino Musto and colleagues pioneered a method to optimally cook both the yolk and white of a chicken egg: http://spklr.io/63322NUa0
