Today has been a rough writing day. However! I have managed to confuse my sons school friends who appeared at our door and “6 7” To which I responded with “8 9” The looks of confusion on a group of 10 and 11 year olds was priceless. So you know, silver linings.

Why are historians bad at house renovations…. Because I have found more newspaper and I’ll be trying to preserve it. Excitement waiting to see when it’s from. My guess 1990s.

Oh the irony - doing renovations at home. Found the Somerset Country Gazette newspaper from July 1967 crumpled up behind a fake wall. And there’s an advert (I think) to Bristol Zoo.

Ultra-processed foods are THE debate in nutrition right now, so you'd figure a new randomized control trial on UPFs would get lots of attention. But this study in Nature Medicine has only gotten modest coverage -- probably because it's findings are not so scary. THREAD www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Split decision. On the one hand it's been fun trawling away for different countries policies on plant synthetic biology. On the other, I've just found a website dedicated to tracking said policies... I guess at least I have the background to sense check the tracker...

It has been a day of trawling US policy documents and so many have file names ending "FINAL." And you know somewhere, someone has a multitude of other files for the document named things like "v.1.4" "Final Final" "v.2" and "FINAL_absolutely_the_last_one" 😂
