The bad news is that every single oven you buy will have some sort of inconsistency. But the good news is that you can figure out where those hot spots are with nothing more than a loaf of white sandwich bread and about 20 minutes. nyti.ms/3DmlmUL
Can’t Get an Even Bake? This ‘Toast Test’ Can Help.
If unevenly baked cakes or burnt cookies are common in your household, hot spots in your oven are likely to blame. Here’s how to easily locate them.

Your "normal" blood test results may not actually be normal for you. A mathematician explains how #MachineLearning can find healthy blood count ranges for individual patients and improve predictions of their risk of future disease. https://buff.ly/3P1vAfM 🩺🧪#AI #PersonalizedMedicine #CBC
Blood tests are currently one-size-fits-all − machine learning can pinpoint what’s truly ‘normal’ for each patient
A narrower, more personalized ‘normal range’ could help doctors better diagnose and treat disease in individual patients.
