He's just pulling together whatever materials are at hand at the house and then devising a way to test some scientific question. That actually makes his experiments eminently accessible today.

And fortunately, because of your unique experiences, because no one sees the world exactly the way that you do, that's something that actually is eminently possible. One of the people that I profile in "Stand Out" is this woman.
