This is the thread for new Expert skills.

Expert Skill (Popular Science) is for those of us who study popular science but do not do science. For instance, it would let you talk in a qualitative manner about various interpretations of quantum mechanics or theories of abiogenesis, but you can't perform the calculations involved or come up with detailed experiments to test them. It would involve the "sciences" - Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy, etc. You could easily invent a similar skill for Popular Humanities.

(Yes, there was a previous thread I could have resurrected, but it was from 2005... and it involved lots of other talk as well. But it was nice to see some people I remember from that time.)
