Jane Goodall is in isolation these days along with everyone else, since a fund-raising tour was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. She is staying at her family home in England, not in Tanzania, her primary home when not on the road. Dr. Goodall changed the way the world views chimpanzees with research that began…
If you stocked your pantry with loads of peanut butter, you might be getting tired of perpetual P.B.&J.s. Or in my case, peanut butter spread on banana slices and sprinkled with flaky sea salt. (Try it before you knock it.) For something a little different, I offer an extremely simple riff on cold sesame noodles,…

In the age of coronavirus, many of us have transformed overnight from office workers into telecommuters. And we are increasingly relying on videoconferencing apps like Zoom and FaceTime to correspond with our peers. But inevitably, with our homes and workplaces merging into one, the boundaries between our personal and professional lives are beginning to erode…
For those of us sheltering at home because of coronavirus and unable to visit the gym or otherwise weight train — which, right now, is most of us — a new study of the inner workings of our muscles should be heartening. It finds that if muscles have been trained in the past, they seem…
