Let’s go Neolithic!

So much happening in the Chew Lab! A dear friend, Dr. Jacopo Cerasoni, is making us Neolithic millstones - stay tuned! And after 350,000 chews, this is what almonds did to the enamel surface - no abrasives required.

Walking around a rock quarry in ballet flats was not on my bingo card, but looks like we’re going to make some millstones!

So excited to have Fulbright Scholar Dr. Berta Morell Rovira in the Chew Lab this semester!

I want to know the physics involved with this situation. (On campus this morning.)
