Question Guidelines

 

  • We do not have the resources to answer homework and school assignment questions.
  • We do not answer questions that deal with medical diagnoses.
  • Any basic question that can be answered with current Internet reference sites are not answered. We compiled a list of reference sites to help with these questions.
  • If you are looking for science fair projects ideas, please check our science fair links.
  • We try to return an answer within 1 week, however there are times when our volume of question submissions prevent our volunteers from responding in that time period. We ask that you be patient if there is a delay.
  • Finally, please remember that all the scientists that participate in Ask A Scientists are volunteers. They are also working scientists that sometimes cannot respond due to other demands on their time.
