Question: why should I vote for you?

Steve Marsden answered on 16 Mar 2016:

There are a lot of good questions being proposed in both the chats, as well as here in the Ask section. If you like a particular answer that one of us gives to a question, or like their answers in general, then I’d suggest firing a vote to that scientist. There are quite a large number of answered questions in the Ask section now, which might be interesting to read through.

I’d also recommend looking at the projects we would fund were each of us to win. *Puts campaign hat on* If you vote for me, then you could help to fund a youtube channel which interviews scientists about their current research. I think this is quite an interesting thing to do, because when I was at school I was taught mainly about experiments that were originally performed hundreds of years ago. That’s certainly necessary for a good knowledge of modern science, but I had no idea what research was currently being performed.

The groundwork for this project is already in place (http://www.rubberduckresearch.com/), but we’re missing a few key bits of equipment, such as microphones. The prize money would complete the project’s budget, and allow the first interviews to be uploaded by mid summer this year.
