Title: How is Question of the Week chosen?
Post by: scherado on 06/10/2018 21:45:38

I can't figure out where to ask a question.

Will someone tell me where I can ask a question about one of the topic sub-sections?

"Hey, scherado, why don't you just ask the question?"

Alright, perhaps that's a good idea.

How is the "question of the week" chosen?

Questions are submitted by listeners to the podcasts and the admin team choose one to be posted as QotW

The Question of the Week is chosen by the producers of The Naked Scientists radio show/podcast, and announced one week, to encourage discussion before the "official" answer is provided by an expert the following week.

Often the Question of the Week will be related to the topic of the following week's show.

Oops! Overlap with Colin2B..

Ah, thank you global moderator, "Colin2B".

I have a question, which is a "doozy." I use that word for the sole reason that I encounter so many people who do not know the answer and should know the answer, if you get my drift.

You could ask it here https://www.thenakedscientists.com/ask-question and if it is relevant to the show then it might be picked up, but that’s a bit of a lottery.
If you are having difficulty deciding which part of the forum to post it in, use General Science and the moderators will move it to the appropriate section.
