Posted: 22 Feb 2018 04:00 AM PST Hi everyone, I'm Melinda Krahenbuhl, and I'm the Director of the Reed Research Reactor in Portland, Oregon. I'm here to answer your questions with help from Atlas Obscura, who wrote about the reactor. I received my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Utah in 1998. I've previously served as the Director of the Dow Chemical Research Reactor (2008-2011) and the Reactor Adminstrator of the University of Utah Research Reactor (2004-2008). Under the Department of Energy's Industrial Assessment Center program, I completed 120 energy assessments for manufacturers in the intermountain region, ranging from manufacturers of ice cream to rocket motors. I participated from 1998 to 2008 in the Joint Coordinating Council for Radiation Effects Research-Project 2.4 analyzing exposures, bioassay data, and the biological fate of plutonium in the Russian weapons development workers. I have served on the National Organization of Test, Research and Training Reactors (TRTR) executive committee since 2008. In 2014, I became the first female chair of TRTR. I served as the chair for 2 Ph.D.'s and 6 Master students and employed over 100 undergraduates in her academic roles. I have 15 peer reviewed publications, and I've received federal funding for 17 projects with a financial value just over 2 million dollars. My research interests include biokinetic modeling, neutron activation and fission track analysis. I'll be on from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. (18 UT), AMA! [link] [comments] |

What causes the increased grip on paper when you lick your finger? Posted: 21 Feb 2018 08:33 PM PST When trying to separate pages, I sometimes lick my fingers to make the pages "stick". What about dampening my skin makes it adhere so well to the paper? [link] [comments] |
How can brain cells cause tumours even though they can not multiply? Posted: 22 Feb 2018 03:56 AM PST Hi! I asked this in another place and didn't get an answer and got insulted, and I was told to post this question here. So I'll just ask it here. Biology is not really a strong point for me, and Google doesn't help me much so I think it is good for me to have an answer where people know what they are talking about. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
Why does sleep deprivation and lack of sleep increase depression? Posted: 22 Feb 2018 02:00 AM PST I've personally never understood why the likeliness of depressing / sadder thoughts increase when we get considerably more tired. The only logical explanation I could think of is that where our body becomes fatigued, we want to rest and not giving into that instinct causes the aforementioned. [link] [comments] |
How does Positron Emission Topography (PET) work? Posted: 21 Feb 2018 12:59 PM PST Wouldn't the positrons undergo annihilation the very instant they come into contact with normal matter? [link] [comments] |
Is there any evidence that pornography is a public health risk? Posted: 21 Feb 2018 10:44 PM PST Florida declares pornography a public health risk. I'm aware that politics is often irrational. But is there any scientific evidence that shows in this direction? And if yes, can this risk be quantified? [link] [comments] |
Why are mercury salts a common first choice for heavy atom soaks in protein crystallography? Posted: 22 Feb 2018 07:28 AM PST I understand that you need an electron dense heavy atom in order to dominate a Patterson map. But why are mercury salts more common than other heavy atoms, like platinum, gold etc.? [link] [comments] |

Posted: 22 Feb 2018 03:01 AM PST This infograph picqued my interest; apparently there's a sharp (exponential?) decrease of the projectile's effectiveness with an increase in compressive strength. Newton's approximation for impact depth won't work with such slow impacts, but can a reasonably accurate prediction be made when the target's compressive strength is known? For instance, how would the GBU-28 and GBU-57 fare against targets such as Kosvinsky Mountain or Cheyenne Mountain? [link] [comments] |
Is there any evidence to suggest that biracial people are less susceptible to genetic diseases? Posted: 22 Feb 2018 05:52 AM PST Being that they are created from very different gene pools. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 22 Feb 2018 05:29 AM PST I was in a chemistry lesson a week ago and asked this to my teacher who then responded to me saying it wouldn't be in the syllabus but im still really curious [link] [comments] |
How can we hear when someone is smiling? Posted: 21 Feb 2018 06:48 PM PST I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I can always hear when someone is smiling, even though I've sometimes never seen this person nor sometimes even heard the person before. It seems to be an intuitive thing. So what is it about the changes in speech that indicate to our (subconscious?) brain that the other person is smiling? I put this under Neuroscience because I'm sure it has something to do with how our brain processes language, but if there's a better flair to use, I can change it. [link] [comments] |

How does the Hubble Telescope take pictures? Posted: 21 Feb 2018 02:25 PM PST I know in photography to take pictures you need to be standing still to not blur the image, you also need to (depending on your exposure and a bunch of other factors) also keep it still for that factor. So how does it take clear photos? [link] [comments] |
Do genetics influence the way one's voice sounds? Posted: 22 Feb 2018 02:48 AM PST |
Posted: 21 Feb 2018 10:59 PM PST I want to understand the physics of what makes both of those sounds sound so different. Is it because of different frequencies present in them? If so which frequencies are present in sounds created by solid objects and which ones are present in the sounds created by hollow objects. [link] [comments] |
