Sometimes when the world is a mess my brain gets wrapped up in the cycle of wanting to do something about everything, getting overwhelmed, and doing nothing. In an attempt to derail that cycle, I’m trying to focus my frustration-energy on a specific ethical topic that I'm passionate about. My topic of choice (drumroll): Fair/Direct Trade! (esp. for chocolate, coffee, and tea)

I'm in the learning phase (and honestly probably always will be) and welcome any helpful insights or questions, but these are a few early thoughts:

New study highlights ways to future-proof cocoa production

A study reveals that sustainable agricultural practices can future-proof cocoa production. By enhancing pollination and mitigating climate risks, cocoa yields can increase without expanding plantations, supporting millions of farmers and the USD 100 billion chocolate industry while safeguarding biodiversity.

My colleague Michael Wondrak has conducted an evaporation experiment of Ferrero-Rocher chocolate confection and compared it to our predictions for evaporation via a Hawking-like gravitational pair production, that we published recently ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024

Unfortunately, the results don’t quite match the theory. Evaporation happened much quicker. Not sure why 🤔.

A graph illustrating the relationship between the lifetime (τ) in years and density (ρ) in grams per cubic centimeter. Key points represent various astronomical objects and phenomena, including dark matter, a human body, planets, and different types of stars, and a piece of chocolate.
The image features a theoretical background on an experiment regarding Rocher evaporation, discussing the Hawking and Schwinger effects in relation to particle production. Two images are presented: one shows a bowl of chocolate treats and the other contains handwritten notes about the experiment.
An image featuring text from a research paper discussing the results and conclusions related to "Rocher matter" and its decay over time, including future plans for experiments. References to theoretical background and publication details are also included.

Chocolate Guinness cake (you could make it with Beamish or Murphys!)

Nigella.comChocolate Guinness CakeThis cake is magnificent in its damp blackness. I can't say that you can absolutely taste the stout in it, but there is certainly a resonant, ferrous tang which I happen to love. The best way of describing it is to say that it's like gingerbread without the spices. There is enough sugar — a certain understatement here — to counter any potential bitterness of the Guinness, and although I've eaten versions of this made up like a chocolate sandwich cake, stuffed and slathered in a rich chocolate icing, I think that can take away from its dark majesty. Besides, I wanted to make a cream cheese frosting to echo the pale head that sits on top of a glass of stout. It's unconventional to add cream but it makes it frothier and lighter which I regard as aesthetically and gastronomically desirable. But it is perfectly acceptable to leave the cake un-iced: in fact, it tastes gorgeous plain.
