There is a big problem with how we are educating our future scientists: we tell them that you are only allowed to change one thing in an experiment and you have to keep everything else the same. When trying to learn about the effect of many factors on a process or system, it is much more effective to change all your factors simultaneously. But people rarely learn about this method, "Design of Experiments" or "DOE." Or they only hear about it later in their careers when they are resistant to new ideas. The result is a huge waste of time and resources due to inefficient experimentation. In the summer of 2022, JMP® launched a competition with an engaging and simple experiment to demonstrate the power of DOE. In this presentation, you will hear from the contest winner and the designer of the experiment. You will hear how experimenters of all ages can get their hands dirty growing garden cress under different conditions according to a statistically designed experiment. And you will see how the results can be easily analyzed with compelling visuals, as well as using sophisticated Functional DOE analysis in JMP® Pro.
