Congratulations to jtbell, xanthym, Olderdan, and saltydog! They have all received Science Advisor ribbons for their demonstrated expertise. We all appreciate the hard work you've put in here!

Congratulations to all of you!
 
CongraGulations?
What sort of lame, half-hearted congratulation is that?? :wink:
 
Wow, I'm flattered! Thanks, guys! :smile:

Ironically, this comes just as I'm about to start traveling for the summer, so my presence here is going to be rather spotty for a while. I'll probably be gone for a few days next week, then for three weeks in June, then another couple of weeks in July. Things won't really start returning to normal until early to mid August.

I don't want you all to think that it's a case of "take the money and run!" :blushing:
 
Congrats to the new science advisors (and to all those who have acquired medals in the interim without formal announcements)!
 
Congrats to the new science advisors! :smile: Especially OlderDan...he can solve any problem you throw at him.

Just curious...how does one become a science advisor? Do you have to maintain a certain average number of (good) posts per day?
 
HackaB,

If we (the mentors & admins & advisors) notice someone consistently makes good posts, we'll nominate them. If there's no dissent, they get a medal. :) There's no specific rules, but we like to see several hundred quality posts before making the decision.

Woops, I'm slow.

Thanks guys (just saw this post). I'm flattered some of you would think enough of me to award me the ribbons. Actually I have more questions than answers but hopefully by asking them I can help others as well. :smile:

I feel to excell in Math is to hold onto a child-like innocense. Unfortunately for me, that may appear awkwards to some at times. It doesn't bother me and I hope not you.

Well done, folks! You've definitely broadened my knowledge in the short time that I've been here.
