The playhouse

The playhouse is an area for the free exchange of ideas: ideas for things that you would like to see done, things you have done, or for things that float your boat. Its intended purposes are for sharing of cool and/or useful content, and also to inspire interested souls to pursue further scientific investigation, be it on one's own time or in a formal capacity. There is the scope and freedom to engage in a non-traditional lab program, for example, building and testing a new experiment in place of using an existing system. This is but one option, so if you find you have a technical scratch which you want to itch, please get in touch!

Extensions of existing experiments

Some of the lowest hanging fruit for anyone with an interest is to extend the existing experiment and pursue a path of investigation that continues or compliments the original investigation
