Why people love cast iron pans (and why I'm on the fence)
This guy is looking for a graduate student who might be willing to do a thesis paper on how to best season cast iron cooking implements, with which oils, to what temperatures, and whether or not cleaning with modern (non-lye-based) detergents is as bad as old-fashioned (lye-based) soaps were reputed to be.
...You’d get to cook for your thesis paper, because all these different methods for seasoning cast iron skillets, etc, would certainly have to be tried out!
Athena: Are you saying we have to secretly perform scientific experiments on our siblings to increase efficiency?
Apollo: Yep.
Athena: Sounds fun. Let's do it.
Uniformitarianism, also known as the Doctrine of Uniformity, is the assumption that the same natural laws and processes that operate in the universe now have always operated in the universe in the past and apply everywhere. It refers to invariance in the principles underpinning science, such as the constancy of causality, or causation, throughout time, but it has also been used to describe invariance of physical laws through time and space. Though an unprovable postulate that cannot be verified using the scientific method, uniformitarianism has been a key first principle of virtually all fields of science.
