Fun fact: Experiment tested a colleague's ability to taste the difference between cold milk with hot tea added vs. hot tea with cold milk added. Fascinating chemistry. Great dinner table topic with my teenagers, who favored a similar test with Coke and Pepsi. :) More teen topics: xkcd.com/882/

No microwaves. It's an amazing article about Fisher's first experimental design. He served 8 cups of tea, 4 of each type in random order. When the tea taster was able to correctly identify the type of all 8 cups he calculated a 1/70 or 1.4% probability of this happening by chance. p<5% = success!

Unless Google's naming of Taiwan inside China signals political support for China (IMO very unlikely) this recent name change is not a sign of Google's politics either.

Embryo mortality is also going to skyrocket, because frozen embryos are stored in liquid nitrogen at -321 F (-196 C).
