What are you curious about? Does it deserve more scientific examination than it currently receives? Let’s refine your question and design an experiment to study it.

I invite you to have a coffee with me (Maia) and brainstorm new experiment ideas. See some of my past and current studies at Cosimo Research.

(Examples) Some new topics I am recently wondering about:

• Does matcha actually have a more sustained energizing effect than coffee, or are we making it up?

• Can science determine who goes harder, Kendrick vs Drake? Current methods of settling rap feuds are unsatisfying.

• How do societally-given expectations affect one’s psychedelic experience? It’s a hard topic to study, but I have a feasible idea.

• Can wild Anolis lizards increase proximity and eye contact with humans through repeated, non-threatening interaction? More broadly, how could we better study animal intelligence?

• How does subjective pleasure relate to physiological orgasm, and can this be detected by a wrist-wearable biometric tracker? (In progress)

Tell me your curiosities!

I set max participants to 2 so we can have an in-depth discussion. TG message @maiaresearch if you’d like to chat at a different time.
