Your cookies will be in the oven soon

Hey guys,

Thank you so much for supporting my research project. 🙌I've received your generous funds, here is the proof!

 

Shortly after this campaign closed, I moved to New York City. Well, not just me--all of the Experiment crew moved to New York City. We are now situated in a new office and I'm in a new apartment. Things are starting to cool down, which means I have time for the cookie experiment. Yaaaaas.

The cookies will be in the oven soon, and I will post an update when I start to freeze the cookie dough.

During the campaign one of the researchers on the site brought up a good point. If I am freezing the cookie dough for 12 hours, I need a control where I leave cookies at room temperature for 12 hours. So, I am going to add that!

If you have other suggestions for the experimental design, I'm all 👂🏽 👂🏽.

In other news here are some cool things related and unrelated to cookies that have been happening in my life.

 

1. The cookie experiment got a shout out in Jason Calcanis' weekly show, This Week In Startups. You can watch the interview here. You can skip forward to 60:51 to see our project on the big screen.

 

2. We launched our first ever grants program featuring marine mammals research: experiment.com/marine-mammals This is a new thing I'm testing out where wealthy donors can donate thousands of dollars (or maybe even millions or billions of dollars) toward a specific research topic. The project with the most number of backers tomorrow Tuesday 11:59PM PT, will receive an additional $2,000 grant. This is definitely up there in top 5 most awesome projects I've worked on at Experiment.

The best way to participate is to go in there and give $1 to the projects you think deserve an additional $2,000 grant. Every dollar counts, literally.

 

3. I flew an airplane for the first time. We took off at Palo Alto Airport and landed at Half Moon Bay Airport.

Alright, we're getting off topic now.
