With second wave crashing over us, and youngest daughter about to return to university, I need some comfort food. Charles Darwin had a sweet tooth so reconstructed dishes from Mrs Darwin's recipe notebooks. A thread 1/7 Loved the look of Baked Apple Pudding, although youngest daughter said looked like burst pustules! Apples baked with sugar, lemon and butter then covered in batter and baked again - delicious. 2/7

Reflecting on general societal lessons after producing preprint on leaving lockdown osf.io/ca5rh/files, attracting media publicity, seen by good journal who enthused, invited (and reminded) to submit promising fast track, 12 weeks later rejected solely as out of scope (1/8) Preprint at Open Science Foundation and publicity by Science Media Centre ensured results were disseminated widely internationally (218+ media outlets with audience of 160 million), plus multiple TV and radio. OSF and SMC are stars! (2/8)

I blame lockdown but for some reason decided to cook Babylonian meal from the recipe tablet on the right; at 1750 BCE are the oldest recipes existing. Seemed to go down OK "Best Mesopotamian meal I have eaten".
A thread 1/6 Stew of lamb. This was simple and delicious. Crumbled in a couple of barley cakes (made by daughter Tessa), which made a rich unctuous sauce. Crushed leek and garlic topping gave it an sharp edge 2/6

Perplexed by this incomprehensible equation, which surely must be based on something. Perhaps this is what it means (but needs 7 corrections) Assume we are concentrating on the daily new infections rather than total number

Have an enjoyable, innovative & useful Sunday Q1. Create simple instructions for people (some may be in pairs or groups) deciding where to sit on the underground to ensure reasonable and so safer spacing. If useful you can number or colour code the seats.
