What will we do?

Science or the scientific method is not something reserved for people with white coats in laboratories. Rather, it is a way of thinking you can apply to your life each and every day.

Such experiments could involve gardening (which plants grow best in what kind of soil or light?), your cooking (what method is best for getting the perfect boiled potatoe?), people (how will colleagues react to different kinds of snacks at different times of the day?), your own mood or psychological state (how does your evening activity affect how you feel when waking up?), the effect of taking Vitamin D, …
