Feb 2	comment	Academia: Is <professor name> tough during the exam? Please stop voting this answer as a good off topic. We need two more off topic above 20 to get the proposal started. Save your precious points for other questions currently below 20.

Aug 18	comment	Academia: I'm really interested in [very specific research area]. Which programs are particularly good in this area? @Matt I don't think it's off topic. It's on-topic, but as you say, it is opinion based due to the "good" part, although quality can be quantified numerically (with group size/number of papers... ok we are opening a can of worms, but still). As such, it should probably be community wiki.
Aug 18	revised	Academia: What is the visa process for a 1 year postdoc application in USA? edited title
Aug 18	comment	Academia: Is <professor name> tough during the exam? @Mechko : I think a Q/A site is not a good resource for this question. your older colleagues are a much better resource, with the added value that if any answer comes, it's not available for anyone (the professor in particular) to see attached to a name.
Aug 15	comment	Skeptics: Aliens have visited me. What should I do? Take out the chips and beer, obviously.
Aug 15	comment	Skeptics: How many skeptics does it take to change a lightbulb? so ? how many ?
Aug 13	comment	Chemistry: What's the origin of orbitals? quantum chemistry is definitely chemistry.
Aug 13	comment	Chemistry: How does soap make dirt/oils wash away in water? this is a question for popular natural science. The point of this SE is for advanced level chemistry.
Aug 7	comment	Musical Practice and Performance: When should I write in 6/8 and when should I write in 3/4? @MPelletier : there are many reasons for that, but technically you could do it both ways, although in practice the "wrong choice" can produce inconvenient representation of the final staff.

Aug 6	comment	Academia: I would like to do research on <argument>. Where can I find research groups working on it? @Peter : I can speak for my discipline, computational chemistry. <argument> would be: theoretical development, non-linear optics, catalysis, electron transport. Eventually it can be more general for still non-specialized people (e.g. biochemistry, high-energy particle physics, weather and climate)
