Publications

Everything we have measured so far

The Institute publishes in full, including the results that were later withdrawn and the one that was withdrawn before publication because the second author does not exist. All work is on things made from flour. Preprints are available from the keepers on request, in person, slowly.

Note

On withdrawal

Papers are withdrawn when the loaf does not survive replication. In each case the oven was re-levelled, the flour was replaced, and the result was the same. We have stopped treating this as a failure of the oven.
