Footprints of Human Migration in the Population Structure of Wild Baker's Yeast

2 months ago | onlinelibrary.wiley.com | Jacqueline Peña |Audrey Ward |Douda Bensasson

1 Introduction Since the last ice age, humans have transitioned from a hunter-gatherer to a sedentary lifestyle and developed new technologies for preserving food, including fermentation (McGovern 2003). The baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a driver of such fermentations and is used to produce beer, wine, sake, cocoa, and coffee (Marsit et al. 2017). The earliest archaeological evidence of fermented rice, honey, and fruit in China dates to 7000 BCE (McGovern et al. 2004).

Josh Brolin on his wild life: weed at 9, LSD at 13, jail 9 times

“I jump onto a group of people, young men, friendly, preppy boys drinking wine spritzers. They kick me. I swing wildly. I can’t feel anything.” This is the actor Josh Brolin describing one of his life’s many wild nights, on this occasion in Paris. “Find another bar. Blood on the face. Blood in the hair … More alcohol … Another fight. I fall in the Seine. I’m cold. I can’t remember where I live.
Does the Lucy Letby case stack up? We covered it and can’t agree

Oct 19, 2024 | thetimes.com | Audrey Ward

Is Lucy Letby innocent? It seems an incredible question to be asking given the neonatal nurse was tried in a court of law, found guilty between two juries of killing seven babies and trying to kill seven others. Her attempts to appeal have been rejected twice by judges. She is serving 15 whole-life prison sentences. Yet others see it differently.
I hired Soho House to redesign my interiors

Jul 6, 2024 | thetimes.com | Audrey Ward

In 2016 my mum stood in the middle of a building site and looked up at an overcast sky. “Congratulations on buying four walls,” she said to my husband and me, tongue in cheek, as my dad picked his way through the rubble of our new home in Putney, southwest London. Yet it wasn’t the lack of roof that unnerved me — it was the thought of the interior design project that lay ahead.

For some couples, it’s a regular date night. For others, the key to a happy marriage is never letting the sun set on an argument. For Greg Wise and Dame Emma Thompson, it’s therapy. Wise says it has “definitely enhanced” the actors’ 21-year marriage — and he thinks it is vital for everybody else to do it too. “I think, honestly, for everyone it is sort of essential,” he said.

Can an AI fitness mirror replace a personal trainer?

Apr 13, 2024 | thetimes.co.uk | Audrey Ward

It is a quiet weekday morning and I’m standing in my living room being personally trained by a hologram of the former England cricketer Alastair Cook. He is dressed in sports kit and his voice is earnest as he takes me through the exercises we will cover in the 45-minute workout. Once we kick off, he counts my reps and corrects my form; after a lacklustre squat he instructs me to “get lower”. No, I did not commission my own Cook hologram — this is a session with the Magic AI Mirror.
Nicolas Hamilton: growing up in the shadow of my brother Lewis

Nicolas Hamilton is recalling his 24th birthday and the present his big brother, Lewis, gave him. “We were at dinner in London. We went out to the car park and he said, ‘Wow, look at that car, that’s so cool.’ It was a midnight blue C63 Mercedes. “I think I described it as ‘amazing’ and then he held out the key and said, ‘Happy birthday.’ I was gobsmacked.
