This post is for new panelist recruitment! The previous one is here[1].

1: https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/w3rut0/askscience_panel_of_scientists_xxvii/

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!

-------------------

-------------------

-------------------

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:

`Username: /u/foretopsail`

`General field: Anthropology`

`Specific field: Maritime Archaeology`

`Particular areas of research include historical archaeology, archaeometry, and ship construction.`

`Education: MA in archaeology, researcher for several years.`

`Comments: 1, 2, 3, 4.`

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.

Hey,

I already have flair, but I was being extra ND and way too specific and young back then. Since, I've become quite multi-disciplined over the years. If I could just change my flair to "Engineering" or "Engineering - Energy" that would be less confusing for all. I won't abuse it and try to give answers about branches outside what I know, like Electrical engineering or such. Those folk believe in imaginary numbers! ;)

Comments: Same ones that got me my current flair so long ago. Can look those up I think, if needed.

Sorry for weird request.

General field: Planetary science

Specific field: Space physics (I should note, space physics here is the study of plasma in the solar system. So it could fit under physics or astronomy, as planetary science is often more focused on geology, but it is solar system specific so planetary science seems the best general field)

My particular area of research is solar wind interactions with planetary magnetospheres, using spacecraft observations.

Education: PhD in space physics, have been a researcher in the field for several years post-PhD.
