This question reminded me of James Burke's documentaries.

Experts on what kinds of science topics are you looking for?

I miss the golden days of r/askscience and r/askhistorians on Reddit. I was flared contributor on r/askscience for pharmacology and medicine related topics

Dam know anything about history would love you if you contributed more than just me at !askhistorians@lemmy.world . Still getting it off the ground from a person or bot named karmabot. We are looking for people to help maybe get some ama's going and stuff.

I'm not really a history expert, definitely not authoritatively with sources. I'm more focused on human biology and medicine for my area of expertise.

Can you at least talk about your field and stuff? Like that past in those area's. Or just willing to answer questions as best you can. We are really relaxed, we can go with any date and time you choose and will nip trolls and douches in the bud immediately. No pressure but you would be our first.
