Is there a scientist willing to look at a high school student's work?

[Vitul]

The student has already been published and has helped conduct research with scientists before.

You are not exactly giving us much to go on.

What would you like to know?

[ajb]

Well for one what is the area the student has contributed to, who has he/she worked with before and in what capacity? What paper has the student published?

 

If you are looking for someone to engage with the student then you will need to tell everyone here a lot more information. Maybe no one here can really engage with the student for whatever reasons, but it maybe possible to offer some advice or offer contact through professional societies. But again, without more information this is impossible.

The student (me) has contributed to various fields. Most notably, my work is based on biology and more specifically, biological oceanography. I wouldn't like to divulge names here, but the scientists are recognized and reputed. If required, I can show my work through e-mail. My work with scientists has mostly been research internships, where I handled a specific topic of study under their guidance.

First, you should stop referring to yourself in the third person ("the student"). It seems dishonest, like you have something to hide, and I don't think you are. I think you are sincere.

 

Second, is there a way you can summarize what you want to discuss here, a single topic at a time? If your work follows mainstream science, start a thread with a summary in the appropriate section. If your work is more speculative, we have a Speculations section with some special rules.

 

Can you do this for us? We discuss science here, and we're glad you found us.

Okay, then for sure I cannot help you.

Hi, I have tried starting a thread multiple times but it always dies out without much discussion. Moreover, I think the time difference plays a big role. The most probable reason for the threads dying out is the specificity of topics, which I'm assuming not many have really looked into. What else would you recommend?

The Ethics of Awesomeness had no science in it, but I still participated in that one. Your first post was advertising your blog, which you found out we don't allow (you're free to put a link to it in your signature if it's non-commercial - we just don't want you starting threads about it). And the amusia thread got stalled because of terminology disagreements (re tone deafness).

 

I think you need to give it a few more tries before starting a thread like this. The more science, the better. Why don't you post some of your observations about marine iron fertilization? That thread was only stopped because you were breaking the rules by advertising. We like it when everything we need for a good discussion is right here. That's what I would recommend.

What do you want someone to look at your work for? Publication suitability? Proof reading for assignments? Fun?

 

Also, if you've worked with reputable scientists to do the work, are they unable to read your work? They would presumably be the best qualified to assess it.

I'm willing to look.

But how much effort I'm prepared to put into a response might not be what you are looking for.

I need to see whether it can be published, and also if my hypothesis has any gaping holes in it. This work was done independently, I've worked with scientists in other fields.
