Click through to hear an 8 minute interview with Austin Durant, citizen experimenter and founder and chief fermentation officer, Fermenters Club and Vineet Pandey, lead designer and developer, Galileo. "Ever wonder if kombucha, the fermented tea drink, is actually good for you? Like many food and drinks touted as healthy, there hasn't been much scientific research to rely on and you'd just have to come to your own conclusions. Now a tool out of UC San Diego is empowering regular citizens to design experiments to test hypotheses and recruit participants, becoming scientists themselves. The tool is called Galileo and encourages participants to test their intuitions by asking questions like, can a vegan diet improve energy levels? Or does drinking coffee every day reduce the quality of sleep?"

Galileo Design and Run Experiments with people from around the world N=1 Cohort Participants - Set up your account and create your first N=1 experiment.

"Galileo is a website (designed by UC San Diego Design Lab) where people design and run their own experiments with their community. Anyone curious about their lifestyle and health can use this website; No prior knowledge is needed as the website guides people through the different steps of creating an experiment. After creating their experiment, people can it reviewed from two members who'll help them improve their experiment.
