Mycotoxins

We are happy to feature our curator @sco this week, who authored an interesting article about mycotoxins. If you like tomato sauce and eat it from cans, please have a look. Things may be dirtier than expected. While this may or may not affect your life, it is always good to be informed on what could be present in the food we eat. In short, mouldy food could impact us and end, somehow, in our plate (no matter the UV treatments)..

Punishment – An Overview Through the Lens of Psychology

For several weeks in a row, we are proud to feature @abigail-dantes in this distilled. The psychology topic of the week concerns punishment. Do we have to punish people, or not? She provides hints to answers to this question in the post, from the point of view of the psychologist. Again, a nice debate in the comments! Feel free to participate
