Hello science enthusiasts and enthusiastic scientists! Also hello to non-enthusiastic scientists and non-scientific people who might or might not be enthusiastic. We are proud to announce the official AskScience IRC channel. In it, you can talk to scientists from around the world, who have expertise in a multitude of scientific disciplines. Ask them your burning scientific questions, discuss a recent interesting AskScience thread, or inquire about what they had for lunch.

Everyone is welcome, as long as the conversation remains civil and respectful.

So please join us on Freenode in channel ##askscience (double hash!). or here is a direct link For those who use an IRC client, connect to server irc.freenode.net. We hope to see you soon!
