INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To roast butternut squash, season the cubes with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Roast the squash cubes in an oven heated to 350 °F (177 °C). Remove the squash from the oven when the cubes are soft on the inside and brown and crunchy on the outside.  Add savory spices, like cumin, chili powder or cayenne pepper, to make a spicy side dish. Add sweet elements, like brown sugar, maple syrup or agave nectar, to make a delectable treat. Butternut squash soup has a silky, creamy texture, perfect for warming up on a winter night. To make it, follow these steps:  Roast butternut squash cubes in the oven until they are soft. In the meantime, sauté a diced onion and a few cloves of minced garlic in some olive oil in a large soup pot on over medium heat on the stove. Add the butternut squash and a quart of chicken or vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce it to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then blend it in batches in the blender. Serve with a drizzle of cream and some black pepper. If you want to skip the peeling process, you can bake a squash whole and cut it when it's soft. Poke a squash all over with a fork and place it on a baking sheet in an oven heated to 350 °F (177 °C). Bake the squash for about an hour, until it's tender when you poke it with a fork. Remove it from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and cut it into slices.

SUMMARY: Make roasted butternut squash cubes. Make butternut squash soup. Cook it whole.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Unless you are painting a mural, you might want to limit your colors to two or three; this includes the base/background color of the wall. If you make your wall too busy, it will draw attention away from the rest of your room. Here are some color ideas to get you started:  If you want a more subtle look, use two different shades for your wall and design. For example, you can paint your wall a dark blue, and stencil on some bird silhouettes in light blue. If you want a bolder look, use contrasting colors. For example, you can paint your wall a fresh, spring green, and some leaf and branch outlines in bright white. You can also paint colored designs. For example you could start with a dark brown or black branch on a white wall. Then, you could add some light pink cherry blossom flowers to the branch. Most walls with designs have a specific theme to them. The easiest designs to paint are silhouettes or outlines. They will be just enough to add some interest and movement to your wall, but they won't be so busy as to detract attention from the rest of your room. Here are some common themes:  Nature-related, such as branches, leaves, and birds Abstract designs, such as scrolls and damask Do you want your design to cover the entire wall, or just a small patch? How you arrange the design is important. Here are some ideas to get you started:  If you are covering your entire wall with the design, consider a grid or checked pattern. If you are covering just a small patch, consider making the patch more asymmetric than asymmetric. If you are using both large and small shapes in your design, try to place the larger designs more towards the center of the patch, and the smaller designs towards the edges. Most acrylic paints will have a glossy, satin/semi-gloss, or matte finish. Most walls will have a satin/semi-gloss or matte finish. If you use the same finish for both your wall and your design, you will get a more uniform result. The design will blend into the wall, and look like it is part of it. If you use contrasting finishes (such as a glossy design on a matte wall), you will get a bolder result. The design will contrast with the background/wall, which can create a very interesting result. Some designs are better suited to certain rooms than other designs. For example, you might consider a more energized design in a room that sees a lot of activity, such as a family room. Bedrooms are generally a place of rest, so a more peaceful design might do better there. Here are some ideas to get you started:  For a fancy dining or family room, consider using dark, rich colors. Use ornate designs, such as scrolls and damask. For a kitchen, consider using something bright and open. You can also paint some food-related designs, such as grapevines or citrus. For a bedroom, use colors that you find peaceful. These can be cool blues and purples, refreshing greens, or even pastels. Consider using something organic for the design, such as long, sweeping curves, leaves, flowers, or branches.

SUMMARY: Choose your color scheme. Pick a theme. Decide on the layout. Consider the paint finish. Consider the room that you are painting.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Many biochemists get jobs in laboratories, especially those with only a bachelor’s degree in the field. Lab technicians help with research in the laboratory, but are supervised by a more qualified scientist/researcher. To find these jobs, you can search various job posting websites. Many governmental agencies want to employ biochemists for a variety of reasons. This includes things like water regulation, food and drug regulation, and other similar things that the government is in charge of. There are many governmental agencies to check for employment opportunities like the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), or the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Another option for a job as a biochemist is to return to the university in a teaching capacity. You typically apply through the school itself for these kinds of positions.  To teach at the university level, you will need at least a master’s degree in this or a related field. You will be able to teach a new generation of biochemists the skills they’ll need in the field. You can check postings for teaching positions directly through individual schools or on websites where higher education jobs are frequently posted.

SUMMARY:
Apply for a job as a lab technician. Get a job with a governmental agency. Apply for a teaching position.
