I read this article my senior year of college as I carried out my first psychology experiments (on lateralized color processing effects), and it may have influenced my career choices…anyhow, a fascinating piece.
I made baked beans from scratch for a lab picnic (on a pontoon boat at Lake Monroe…which was awesome). Somebody else made these mouthwatering Brazilian cheese rolls, which I hope to make soon. Transitioning from om to yum.
Resveratrol looks promising. Same effects as caloric restriction, but more studies needed in mammals. Biotivia has the best supplements. We will see.
Finally, the link.
I made some. It was tasty. I added walnuts. Yum.
No need for a mixer for this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a buttered 4×8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.

Here are the tests. Some of my results:
I correctly identified 16 out of 20 people as either genuinely smiling or faking a smile.
80% of the time I prefer extroverted female faces over introverted female faces (confirming their hypothesis that extroverts prefer extroverted mates).
