What !! that's freaking amazing !! AND TWO STEM FIELDS ??
I'm making an ET quiz with stem questions, so it was mostly to know if there would be an interest and how hard they could be. Now I'm worried I'm fucking up wording instead, because I'm NOT stem
i got coerced into doing the masters LOL since i already had most of the classes completed they were like hey what if you did a masters instead of a minor 💀 it's a lot of fun though and i'm learning so much!
i might be able to help guide you towards what kind of questions would be accessible to people who aren't in stem? but obvi i wanna participate in the event too hahaha. but i guess since i would probably already know the answers to the questions it might be fine?
but regardless, for stem-related questions most things should be easily google-able. my advice is to search your question(s) on google and see if the answer comes up. that should give a decent judgement of whether the average person could find the answer
I also think it's a win on the other side right? Though I'm guessing that jobs are lined up for a phd biochemist too.
If you wanna participate it's probably a bad idea to send them beforehand honestly, though it probably would be nice. I know how specific those scientific explanations can be.
The google thing is probably the best way to go, but looking at what you would do as STEM questions, I'm wondering if my questions might be more historical with "who invented the vaccine?"-like questions.

I'll see. It's very early planning, so I cn change it a lot before
tbh i think those sort of questions are even better! like just easy trivia stuff would probably make more people participate. the stuff i was suggesting is waaaay more complicated to implement. but something simple like part of a code being 'helium yttrium' (He + Y) could be cute!
