| 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]  |

| How do Genes know when to Turn On and Off? Posted: 25 May 2020 06:10 AM PDT Certain genes are known to turn on and off at certain ages, for example in lactose intolerant adult humans (and most other mammals) the genes for producing lactase turn off after childhood. Another example is example is male pattern facial hair and baldness, how do the genes responsible for Producing DHT know when to activate to generate that phenotype? By what mechanism does the organisms body know that it's at the appropriate age to turn a particular gene on or off? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 25 May 2020 05:00 AM PDT Hello everybody, I don't know if my question is clear but I was wondering as a new coworker was getting her computer set up : some passwords are not allowed for your windows account (passwords that contain date of birth, name...). But how is that possible without "storing" somewhere, even in a cache/temp folder, the password itself and not the encrypted version like it is supposed to be done for passwords ? Is there a relation between the encryption of a string, and the encryption of a substring so that it can be recognized from the encrypted version of a password that security conditions are not met ? Thank you for your replies and your time Cheers [link] [comments]  |
| Can messenger RNA ever enter the nucleus? Posted: 24 May 2020 08:04 PM PDT I understand that mRNAs that are transcribed in the nucleus can sometimes stay within the nucleus or be transported out via NPCs. My question is: can cytoplasmic mRNA ever enter the nucleus? Either endogenous mRNAs or perhaps exogenous mRNAs from vaccines? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Racial diversity in drug/vaccine development? Posted: 25 May 2020 03:26 AM PDT Just curious if there are diversity requirements (global, national, etc??) for when developing drugs or vaccines? If not, what is the rationale for why it is expected to work the same for all people? Are we making assumptions about how diseases work or how the body works? (Hope I worded that alright, I know very little about this topic. Thank you so much for your time to everyone who reads this!) [link] [comments]  |
| Difference between sustained wind and wind gusts? Posted: 24 May 2020 02:41 PM PDT I'm into wind sports and accuracy of terminology. Quite often in nasty wind conditions, the difference between sustained wind and wind gusts will be large. Sometimes the forecast changes and the difference between the sustained wind and wind gusts will decrease, creating more favorable conditions. I'm prone to calling this favorable change a "tightened gradient" but I'm not sure this is the correct terminology. Is there a better way to describe this phenomenon? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| How does your health during adolescence affect your health for the rest of your life? Posted: 24 May 2020 12:56 PM PDT I've heard people talk about all kinds of things like your metabolism, cognitive ability, mood regulation etc being largely defined during adolescence or youth, and I am wondering if there's truth to this? [link] [comments]  |
| Covid-19 immunity?? Can we train our bodies through limited exposure? Posted: 24 May 2020 11:12 PM PDT What happens when one receives a low dosage (below threshold required for infection) of the virus? Could this train your body to be somewhat immune or does it cause a mild/asymptomatic illness? [link] [comments]  |
| How are those incredibly zoomed out photos of the universe with the 'You are here' tag taken? Posted: 24 May 2020 10:39 AM PDT I've seen some videos where they repeatedly zoom out starting from Earth. It eventually gets to the observable universe and a tag points to somewhere in the photo saying "You are here". How are we taking a photo of ourselves? Similiarly, how is a picture of the milky way taken if we are in it? [link] [comments]  |

| Is donated blood tested on cancer cells? Posted: 24 May 2020 09:30 AM PDT I have read that cancer cells can travel through the bloodstream. If so, is donated blood tested on cancer cells? [link] [comments]  |
| Is there any study being done right now for us to know when an earthquake will happen? Posted: 24 May 2020 08:02 AM PDT I know earthquakes can never be predicted like we can predict the happenings of a typhoon, but I might be sitting on an outdated information. It doesnt have to be exact, at least an estimated time works really well, and of course the general area [link] [comments]  |
| Will I test positive after being fully recovered from COVID? Posted: 24 May 2020 07:59 PM PDT This is not my field so I am not sure what means fully recovered exactly. The problem is that I believe I had COVID and didn't feel any symptoms because two friends of mine who live with me had fever and sore throat and we immediately isolated. We can't be sure it was covid so after a whole month we want to make a test, but would it test positive even after recovered? [link] [comments]  |

| Can Viruses/Germs Move From One Physical Location to Another? Posted: 24 May 2020 12:22 PM PDT Not sure if this is the right sub, but saw some tongs used for hotdogs at a gas station. Got me wondering, if someone used the tongs, and they had a virus, could the virus "crawl" to the tip of the tongs, essentially getting on the food the tongs are being used for? [link] [comments]  |
| Musical Instruments and Typing, Similarities in the brain? Posted: 24 May 2020 09:23 AM PDT I was recently thinking about how our brains process typing on a keyboard vs Musical Instruments. Are there similarities in how our brains process the activities besides the motor function part of the brain? When typing out a novel or playing a melody on the flute, both of them are art in a way, so I am curious if anyone has any thoughts or research articles on this. [link] [comments]  |
| Does gravity cause a concentration gradient im solutions? Posted: 24 May 2020 05:25 AM PDT For example: Is there more alcohol in the the top of my vodka bottle if i let it sit long enough? [link] [comments]  |
