Here in Australia, yesterday was Australia Day (somewhat equivalent to the American Fourth of July) although many prefer to call it Invasion Day, Survival Day, or Day of Mourning and to make it an occasion for protest. Hence: the fuss over the what Google Australia posted as the day’s Google Doodle.
Newcomer that I am, I celebrated with some Glebe Street gelato:
Can’t read the sign?
“Celebrate Australia Day with Vegemite Gelato on toast!”
Yum.
I am honored (hugely) to be the recipient of the 2023 Edinburgh Medal, at which I give a speech as part of the Edinburgh Science Festival. My talk, “Food Politics: Why it Matters Now” is at 7:00 p.m. Information about the Science Festival is here. A Tweet announcing my award is here.
