Not Quite Business as Usual
The outbreak of Covid-19 threw a wrench into the works of life as we knew it. It is a struggle for everyone who has lost employment or is trying to find a new normal in their daily jobs. While they may normally lie in the back of our minds the hospitality industry continues as a backbone of our society to be there when we need them most. Through quick adaptation, going to takeout and adding provisions and pantry items, they have proven they are not going anywhere soon. Their responses were creative and put into action as quickly as possible doing …

The design allows you to place any size knife, anywhere, within the “block” itself. You can store your paring, chopping and chef’s knife all right next to each other.
It takes up only a small amount …
Dana-Farber scientists identify overactive genes in aggressive breast cancers
Potential new drug target for hard-to-treat ‘triple-negative’ disease
Kornelia Polyak, MD, PhD
Scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have identified an overactive network of growth-spurring genes that drive stem-like breast cancer cells enriched in triple-negative breast tumors, a typically aggressive cancer that is highly resistant to current therapies.
Kornelia Polyak, MD, PhD, a breast cancer geneticist at Dana-Farber, and colleagues found that a large proportion of cells within these tumors showed elevated activity in a network of genes called the Jak2/Stat3 pathway.
Experiments have demonstrated that a drug specifically aimed to block this pathway halted the growth …

Don’t pass over rolls for Passover!
It is only since coming to Boston that I had my first Passover roll. I had never heard of it before and growing up it was something we never had. Boy do I wish my mother had this recipe.

When I make the batter, it would also make a good basis for a hot cereal but I have not figured out …
