BBQ Food Safety: What Not to Grill This Summer

Food-safety experts warn that common summer BBQ practices can trigger illness. Use a digital thermometer to confirm safe internal temperatures for burgers and other meats, prevent cross-contamination with separate utensils/plates and clean surfaces, and keep cold foods at 40°F or below and hot foods warm. Discard perishable items left in the temperature danger zone (40–140°F) after two hours (one hour if it’s 90°F or hotter). Also avoid reusing marinades on vegetables that touched raw meat and don’t prepare raw and cooked foods on the same surface.

Butter-Toast, No-Smash, Perfect Patties: Chef-Backed Rules for Juicy Home Burgers

A Fontainebleau executive chef shares how to avoid common burger mistakes at home to achieve restaurant-quality results: toast buns in butter to build flavor and crust (instead of soaking them in patty juices), rest burgers for 3–4 minutes after cooking, avoid smashing the patties while they cook (smash only when raw for crust), keep patties uniform in size, use a digital thermometer and pull heat about 5 degrees early for carryover cooking, and let the meat come to room temperature briefly before cooking; brioche or potato buns are preferred but any bun works, with gentle heat to prevent burning on the grill.

"Zombie Ants: Unveiling Nature's Mind-Controlled Puppetry"

Ants infected with the lancet liver fluke are manipulated by the parasite to attach to grass blades during cooler temperatures, increasing their chances of being consumed by grazers. Researchers have discovered that temperature serves as a trigger for the ant's behavior, with the infected ants climbing down when the temperature rises to protect themselves from lethal heat. Only one fluke controls the ant's brain, while the rest await transmission in the ant's abdomen. This study sheds light on the sophisticated manipulation tactics of parasites and their impact on host behavior in nature.

Sony's PS5 controller patent hints at temperature-changing feature.

Sony has filed a patent application for a new controller that can change temperature during gameplay. The controller could be made of a softer, elastically deformable material and could include a temperature control apparatus that adjusts the temperature of the material based on the game environment. This could enhance the haptic feedback and gaming experience for players. However, it's important to note that a patent application doesn't confirm the development of a future PlayStation system with this feature.
