Gus has returned from wherever Gus goes and makes a post of earth-shattering importance....about a cooking class at Harvard.?
Except he forgot that he has set up his auto-censor to thwart his ubiquitous kitchen remodeling spammers by substituting the word "SCAM" for "kitchen."? So his exciting new post reads like this:
What a dumbass.? Now that Gollin has been exiled in disgrace it looks like the DD Village Idiot post is up for grabs.? Johann and Nosebutt seemed to be auditioning for the part, but it looks like Gus is doing his best to keep the title in house (or in SCAM).

..."The hope is that by combining these two different perspectives [science and cooking], you will gain a unique insight into how recipes work. Not just the fancy recipes --? but the recipes you make in your own SCAM," says Michael Brenner, course founder and applied mathematician at Harvard University, in a promotional video (see above.)
...Class "meets" twice a week for an hour. Students watch the chefs create some of their signature dishes, interspersed with clips of instructors "digging into the science" behind the SCAM magic, Sorensen says. "Almost all chefs talk a little about the science, but some more than others," she says. Look for a particularly impressive lesson on entropy and latent heat from New York City chef Dave Arnold, from the bar Booker and Dax.
Students will be able to ask questions and interact with one another online, then go into their SCAM and conduct experiments, like making molten lava cake or ice cream to understand key science concepts....
