Chocolate, technically speaking, is a suspension of cocoa and milk solid particles in a polycrystalline cocoa butter matrix. The microstructure determines things like the snap and mouthfeel of chocolate, and controlling that microstructure is surprisingly similar to metallurgy!

I read a new study on
“Altered brain tissue microstructure
and neurochemical profiles
in long COVID
and recovered COVID-19 individuals,”
but if (as the study found)
Covid induces lasting changes
in the brain
it certainly seems
that no one
has truly recovered from Covid.

Researchers have found that individuals with no lingering COVID-19 symptoms still exhibit distinct changes in brain tissue integrity and neurochemistry compared to those who were never infected.
