This post is for new panelist recruitment! The previous one is here[1].
1: https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/l4yi0i/askscience_panel_of_scientists_xxiv/
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.

General field: planetary sciences
Specific field: thermodynamics of magma and igneous rocks
Particular areas of research include computer modeling of crystallizing melts, for use in geothermometers and geobarometers and to study the origins of extraterrestrial igneous rocks.
Education: I now actually practice law, but I have a MS in planetary geosciences
Comments intro: I comment on many fields in addition to my specialty, and I address questions about the basics of thermodynamics all the time. Thermodynamics (and chemical kinetics) is the basis of the work I did.
Comments: on the tendency of systems to spontaneously minimize free energy [1], my multiple answers in this post about the origin of the earth’s salty oceans and plate tectonics [2], describing the relationship between different definitions of informational entropy[3], on the nature of ionic bonding (pretty important in minerals!)[4]

Hi. My flair has a typo. It should be Exoplanets. Can someone please fix it? Thanks.
