<!-- I understand the point of the image but I also don't consider it to be bad for a "content team" member to be doing a science experiment, as this does not prove Brilliant doesn't use scientifically sourced information. The content in the picture is an extremely easy experiment anyone can do. If you have evidence that they don't source information through scientific sources, please post it on the wiki --!>
