| AskScience Panel of Scientists XIX Posted: 04 Aug 2018 05:56 PM PDT 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: 04 Aug 2018 11:11 AM PDT Sorry for the stupid question, but I couldn't get this out of my head. Also, sorry for the maybe weird phrasing of the question, English isn't my first language [link] [comments]  |
| Is there a critical mass for a body of water to experience tides? If so, what is it? Posted: 04 Aug 2018 10:13 AM PDT |
| How is meth different from ADHD meds? Posted: 05 Aug 2018 05:35 AM PDT You know, other than the obvious, like how meth is made on the streets. I am just curious to know if it is basically the same as, lets say, adderal. But is more damaging because of how it is taken, or is meth different somehow? [link] [comments]  |
| How fast can a white blood cell travel? Posted: 05 Aug 2018 07:56 AM PDT Since white blood cells are transmigratory (or something like that), meaning that they can travel through the walls of blood vessels. So, in theory, if I pull some Magic School Bus shenanigans and shrink down, how fast would it seem to be? [link] [comments]  |
| How often do ice ages occur? Are we due one? Posted: 05 Aug 2018 02:35 AM PDT I'm just watching Ice age with my kid and it prompted this thought, just curious. [link] [comments]  |

| Why do neutrons decay with predictable regularity? Posted: 05 Aug 2018 02:46 AM PDT For example with carbon dating, or any unstable isotope. What causes neutron decay at a regular, predictable pattern instead of being released all at once? [link] [comments]  |
| Does the universe have a non-zero angular momentum? Posted: 04 Aug 2018 01:50 PM PDT Does the universe spin? Is this a question which even makes sense? Do we even know / have any way to ever find out? [link] [comments]  |
| How do wildfires start "spontaneously", when the flashpoint of wood is over 400 C? Posted: 04 Aug 2018 04:21 PM PDT I saw a news report about the heatwave in Spain, which said that several wildfires have started due to the high temperatures. I can understand why hot days and dry weather would exacerbate a fire once it has started, but I don't see how the fires started in the first place, unless they were all started by cigarettes or campfires.

| Why does Iodine have a lower melting point then Sodium iodide ? Posted: 05 Aug 2018 03:17 AM PDT |
| What do mosquitoes contribute to the environment? Posted: 04 Aug 2018 03:54 PM PDT |
| Do the physical properties of ice change at different temperatures? Posted: 04 Aug 2018 11:40 PM PDT Does ice change at all at different temperatures (below 0°c obviously), for example does it become in any way harder the colder it is? [link] [comments]  |
| What would the MPG equivalence of a human on a bicycle be? Posted: 04 Aug 2018 04:52 PM PDT |
| Why was earth warmer in the past, even if the CO2 PPM was the same? Posted: 04 Aug 2018 02:12 PM PDT In the Pliocene, CO2 PPM was at modern levels (400 PPM), however it is estimated that it was 3 - 4 degrees warmer than today. Why? Does this mean as well that such degrees are already locked in? [link] [comments]  |
| Is there a table listing all known atomic/molecular line frequencies? Posted: 04 Aug 2018 09:42 AM PDT I am simply curious about finding various types of energy levels (e.g. rotational, vibrational, hyperfine) that can emit photons, for example, from 1 MHz to 1 GHz. All the information I want is: frequency, atom/molecule, initial state, and final state. Is there such a database that easily provides this information? [link] [comments]  |
| Is there a way to quantify climate damaging gases? Posted: 04 Aug 2018 10:29 AM PDT For example: "1kg of Methane will heat the Earth up by 0.00005 degrees Celsius over 100 years" [link] [comments]  |
| What causes, “high” and “low” tide? Posted: 04 Aug 2018 07:35 PM PDT |
| Is it true that one identical twin is basically a 'copy' of the other twin? Posted: 04 Aug 2018 09:31 AM PDT As an identical twin myself I actually don't know. Identical twins come from the same zygote, meaning there was one zygote at first. Now is my question basically: is it so that one twin formed out of that 'original' zygote, and copied the other twin? If so, could science possibly determine which twin is the 'original' and which twin is the 'copy'? Or is it so that both twins were basically half part of that original zygote and separated because it duplicated? Or what happened really? Internet research didn't really give me an answer to this question. [link] [comments]  |
