I'm a physicist working on air pollution and global warming.
Of course, I spend most of my time programming.

comment Is it possible to sunburn through clothing?
I am a particularly pale redhead and have (very rarely) burned through white-cotton t-shirts. It happens. But I am very pale, even for a redhead, and seem to lack the ability to tan.

comment What can I do to help relieve joint pain in fingers after climbing?
I agree! Just a note: anxiety and fear will make you grip harder. This is something to watch out for, particularly if you're outdoors.

comment What is the fastest style of sled?
I'm going to hand this one to you. It is certainly the best answer. I wish we had something a bit more definitive for an answer, so I looked around and posted some pseudo-scientific results I found below. Thanks for the interest!

comment What is the ultimate car camping bed solution — for two people?
The last time I tried this, I just laid the driver's seat back and slept like that. Add a makeshift pillow and a blanket and I bet you'd be more comfortable than I am usually tent-camping.

comment What is scientific relation between body weight and backpack weight in mountain climbing?
I would suggest that whether climbing, mountaineering, or backpacking, the goal is to have the weight from your pack resting on your hips and not your shoulders. That really makes all the difference.
