Astronomy Cast Ep. 147: How to Be Taken Seriously By Scientists

<p class="p1"><a href= "http://www.astronomycast.com/archive/">http://www.astronomycast.com/archive/</a></p> <p class="p1"><strong>From July 20, 2009.</strong></p> <p class="p1">For those non-scientists trying to get their original ideas accepted by the scientific community, you’ve got to have thick skin. It might seem like there’s a vast conspiracy, or a general attitude that drives away original, but unorthodox ideas. But that’s not true, the reality is that great ideas in science come from everywhere, even amateurs. In this episode we’ll help you understand what scientists will be looking for, and the best ways to be taken seriously.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.</p> <p class="p1">Just visit: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy">https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy</a> and donate as much as you can!</p> <p class="p1">Share the podcast with your friends and send the Patreon link to them too!</p> <p class="p1">Every bit helps!
