Kevin D: I'm curious about joining my local physics slash science society, the philosophical society of Washington. Do you think I should join or should I look for a more amateur type club? John Sutter: You should join; it's generally people who are interested and everyone wants to learn. He says there aren't experts in all areas that might be interested in a physics slashscience society.
Welcome to the February 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!

The big news this month is the successful awarding of the first ever Mindscape Big Picture Scholarship. Congratulations to Lyat Melese and Rehman Hassan! We continue to collection donations for next year’s scholarship contest.
