Research for the Amateur

We highly trained professional researchers, we do the lofty, significant researching that covers the important questions in the world. Our work is confidential; otherwise I would spill the beans about how important and serious it all is.

And yet amateur researchers get to have all the fun. Did you read about the guy who is working on perfecting the jet-pack? Now there is some research!

Amateur researchers get to do cool research projects. Try this one at home. Feed someone close to you a couple of cloves of garlic while you abstain. Take a whiff of their breath. Nasty right? Now you eat a couple of cloves and re-test. Write up the results and issue it to your friends and neighbors. Call it something fancy like a "Same-Breath Research White Paper". You are an amateur researcher!
