| AskScience Panel of Scientists XXII Posted: 24 Jan 2020 05:32 PM PST Please read this entire post carefully and format your application appropriately. This post is for new panelist recruitment! The previous one is here. The panel is an informal group of redditors who are either professional scientists or those in training to become so. All panelists have at least a graduate-level familiarity within their declared field of expertise and answer questions from related areas of study. A panelist's expertise is summarized in a color-coded AskScience flair. Membership in the panel comes with access to a panelist subreddit. It is a place for panelists to interact with each other, voice concerns to the moderators, and where the moderators make announcements to the whole panel. It's a good place to network with people who share your interests! You are eligible to join the panel if you:
Instructions for formatting your panelist application:
Ideally, these comments should clearly indicate your fluency in the fundamentals of your discipline as well as your expertise. We favor comments that contain citations so we can assess its correctness without specific domain knowledge. Here's an example application: Please do not give us personally identifiable information and please follow the template. We're not going to do real-life background checks - we're just asking for reddit's best behavior. However, several moderators are tasked with monitoring panelist activity, and your credentials will be checked against the academic content of your posts on a continuing basis. You can submit your application by replying to this post. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 26 Mar 2020 04:00 AM PDT iNaturalist is an online social network of people sharing biodiversity information to help each other learn about nature. It's also a crowdsourced species identification system and an organism occurrence recording tool. You can use it to record your own observations, get help with identifications, collaborate with others to collect this kind of information for a common purpose, or access the observational data collected by iNaturalist users. With so many students sheltering in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, many educators and parents have turned to iNaturalist and Seek by iNaturalist, so not only will iNaturalist co-founder and co-director Ken-ichi Ueda answer questions here, we've also recruited a few educators who have used iNaturalist with their students. They are:
We'll be on at 1 pm (ET, 17 UT), AUA! Username: inaturalistorg [link] [comments]  |
| Ask Anything Wednesday - Economics, Political Science, Linguistics, Anthropology Posted: 25 Mar 2020 08:10 AM PDT Welcome to our weekly feature, Ask Anything Wednesday - this week we are focusing on Economics, Political Science, Linguistics, Anthropology Do you have a question within these topics you weren't sure was worth submitting? Is something a bit too speculative for a typical /r/AskScience post? No question is too big or small for AAW. In this thread you can ask any science-related question! Things like: "What would happen if...", "How will the future...", "If all the rules for 'X' were different...", "Why does my...". Asking Questions: Please post your question as a top-level response to this, and our team of panellists will be here to answer and discuss your questions. The other topic areas will appear in future Ask Anything Wednesdays, so if you have other questions not covered by this weeks theme please either hold on to it until those topics come around, or go and post over in our sister subreddit /r/AskScienceDiscussion , where every day is Ask Anything Wednesday! Off-theme questions in this post will be removed to try and keep the thread a manageable size for both our readers and panellists. Answering Questions: Please only answer a posted question if you are an expert in the field. The full guidelines for posting responses in AskScience can be found here. In short, this is a moderated subreddit, and responses which do not meet our quality guidelines will be removed. Remember, peer reviewed sources are always appreciated, and anecdotes are absolutely not appropriate. In general if your answer begins with 'I think', or 'I've heard', then it's not suitable for /r/AskScience. If you would like to become a member of the AskScience panel, please refer to the information provided here. Past AskAnythingWednesday posts can be found here. Ask away! [link] [comments]  |

| How does a virus "die"? What "kills" it? Posted: 25 Mar 2020 12:41 PM PDT How does a virus literally "die"? I get that viruses aren't technically alive, depending on perspective. But how does it become "safe" or "inactive"? Does the cell wall/lipid coating deteriorate or something? What is it that bleach/soap/etc. does that "kills" the virus? (Or, for that matter, what does leaving items in the garage for a few days do that kills it?) What, scientifically, is happening to the virus structure that "kills" it? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 26 Mar 2020 05:28 AM PDT I can't really hug or any thing so I thought this might be cool I didn't know where to go and couldn't find it on Google [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Mar 2020 09:32 PM PDT I was very influenced by Charles Mills' essay, "But what are you really?", where he argues that race does not exist biologically, but it is 'real' in a social sense. I'm interested in what the consensus is around the realness and non-realness of race in a biological/genetic sense. I'm familiar with the anthropological criticisms of race, but not the biological ones. Mills claims that the consensus among geneticists is that race is not biologically real, but he doesn't outline the reasoning. Furthermore, I recently read Rushton and Jensen's "Thirty Years of Research on Race Differences in Cognitive Ability" documents IQ differences in populations on the basis of race. Does anyone care to comment on criticisms or support of their research and arguments? Is there any good work done into looking into whether or not there are racial differences that are not just morphological? [link] [comments]  |
| What does "For exponents of 2 or less, a power-law distribution lacks a well-defined mean." mean? Posted: 25 Mar 2020 08:08 PM PDT "For exponents of 2 or less, a power-law distribution lacks a well-defined mean. The mean of data drawn from a power-law distribution with an exponent of 1.5 never converges. It increases without limit." From Model thinkers by Scott Page. [link] [comments]  |
| What determines the symptoms experienced from coronavirus infection? Posted: 25 Mar 2020 04:19 PM PDT I understand that basically all our symptoms we experience from like a cold or COVID-19 infection are brought on by our immune system, mostly through cytokines. But what determines why symptoms range so much (coughing vs. sneezing vs. fever vs. congestion vs. muscle aches-- and their combinations)? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Mar 2020 03:34 PM PDT Kind of a silly question I guess. I just often find myself wondering as to my small brain it seems like a lot of conditions have to be met to create a hurricane season. [link] [comments]  |
| Can Mosquitos spread COVID-19? Posted: 25 Mar 2020 06:33 PM PDT I just saw my first mosquito and I was just wondering if mosquitoes can carry COVID-19? [link] [comments]  |
| Is the physical ear required to hear? Posted: 26 Mar 2020 02:27 AM PDT I've been wondering about this for a bit now and all my searches just wind up with "how to clean your ear, hearing aids, infections" etc but what I'm trying to figure out is if the actual physical ear is required in anyway for hearing of if you could just have two holes in your head for hearing.

| What happens on a cellular level when our bodies build a tolerance to a drug? Posted: 25 Mar 2020 03:12 PM PDT |
| What are the most high resolution closeups of the sun? Posted: 25 Mar 2020 10:08 AM PDT I'm curious to know about sun photography and what would be the most extreme close-up pictures of the surface of our sun. It would also be great to get info about the light spectrum + other technical info of the imagery and the scale of what I'm looking at. [link] [comments]  |
| Have there been any pandemics that affected non-humans? Posted: 25 Mar 2020 10:26 AM PDT My understanding of the Coronavirus is that it only affects humans. So, I'm wondering if there have been other major pandemics in recent times that have only affected certain species of (non-human) animals? [link] [comments]  |
| Is sound pressure a linear scale? is a pressure of 0.5 twice as loud as 1.0? Posted: 25 Mar 2020 04:07 PM PDT I was looking at buying a bit of equipment and have narrowed it down to two options. One has a decibel rating of 67Db and the other 71Db. This translates into a sound pressure of 0.0447 and 0.071. Does this mean 71Db is about 60% louder than 67Db? [link] [comments]  |

| Can lack of one sense heighten another? Posted: 26 Mar 2020 12:18 AM PDT I have never been able to smell well but I notice sound very well to the point a lot of things irritate me like the sound of people walking, talking loud and just small noise that makes it hard for me to focus, fall asleep etc. Sometimes it gets to the point where I can get bad anxiety from noises. Can this correlate with each other in anyway? Or could it be something else? I also have very sensitive skin when it comes to touch even holding hands and I'd like to say I'm very observant but this is all brief stuff. Not sure if some of these things could be because of something else but just very curious [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Mar 2020 11:13 PM PDT And will the Earth's days be proportionately or inversely different? The months/lunar cycles? [link] [comments]  |
| What is the most distant galaxy in which we can still see individual stars? Posted: 25 Mar 2020 03:37 PM PDT |
