I read the URL as "sky pea scientist". I was confused until I looked at the image.

Now I'm just confused how anyone is using Skype after Microsoft killed it.

You don't have to use Skype it's just an alliterative title. People have very rarely used Skype for our program for years.

I can add this as a rotating post on the science discussions and popular science feeds if it’s okay with you!

I'd sign up but I don't think I qualify. Medical laboratory professional who worked in hospital labs performing tests in the lab: hematology, chemistry, blood bank, etc.

If you can talk about the science behind those tests, you would count, yeah. There's a catch-all for "professional scientist" in there.

What levels of experience is this open to/are PhD students allowed to participate? :)

We're looking for anyone post-undergrad, either who has worked for a bit as a lab tech or is in grad school or beyond that.

Do you also have this in easy English for non native students who are learning English? Would be sooooo great!

This is such a meaningful way to give back. If you’re a scientist, definitely consider signing up—students love these conversations!

I think I have way fewer scientists following me on here than I used to on the ol' twitter machine so uh, scientists who are still here, sending this around to your colleagues would be excellent!

I know everyone feels a bit doooooomed at the moment. Talking with kids is a highlight for your week!
