Wanted: 7yr old Entomologist

[HCGLNS]

To peer review a paper.

 

[blotsfan]

Is this serious?

 

[strawman]

Well, I've got a 7 year old who's mildly interested in bugs, buts he's only 7 until the end of the month, so you'd better hurry.

 

[Ravenpoe]

You want a kid that likes bugs?

 

[HCGLNS]

Moderately serious. Going over the scientific process with my 7yr old and the last step is communicate your findings/peer review.

 

[blotsfan]

My brother is working on his masters thesis for entomology. I could ask him if you want. He defends his thesis soon though so it wouldn't be for a week or two.

 

[HCGLNS]

That would be sweet! She would get a real kick out of that!

 

[Dei]

I have a 7 year old daughter who's scared of bugs. >.>

 

[Cajungal]

I'm seeing my niece Saturday afternoon. She's 7 and loves science.

 

[blotsfan]

Ugh I'm really sorry HCGLNS. I just found out today that he's so swamped with work that he even had to push back his defense. It'd probably be sometime in August. I know that gives him a long time but he's been going crazy over this.

Ugh I'm really sorry HCGLNS...he's so swamped with work... It'd probably be sometime in August. I know that gives him a long time but he's been going crazy over this.

Sounds like the peer review process to me!

 

[HCGLNS]

Thank you for trying! If he has a moment I have attached a typed up version of her experiment.

(Obviously I have cleaned up the writing, but the original intent remains my daughters)

 

[Bowielee]

Awwwww... that is adorable. Also, kind of sad, seeing as I've seen college papers with less effort put into them.

 

[HCGLNS]

There were two hard parts; me using MSWord and convincing her that it's ant not Aunt.

 

[Chad Sexington]

Still looking for someone for this? I have a friend whose masters is in entomology. She'd be tickled to read this, I'm sure and could offer whatever kind of feedback you're looking for. Just simple questions/criticisms?

 

[HCGLNS]

Sure! That would be great! We're already working on how to improve it a little bit.
