Science & Discovery

A broad domain covering communities engaged in developing, applying, and commercializing new technologies. It includes professional, hobbyist, and research-focused groups in areas like software engineering, AI research, cybersecurity, and maker culture, each with distinct rituals, jargon, and innovation practices.

A broad domain uniting professional and amateur astronomers who observe, image, and study celestial objects through stargazing, astrophotography, telescope making, and outreach efforts. It encompasses multiple independent sub-communities—each with its own equipment, techniques, events, and insider practices.

A broad academic space uniting professional and amateur physicists exploring the fundamental principles of matter, energy, and the universe across theoretical, experimental, and applied subfields.

Biology is the broad scientific field studying living organisms from molecular and cellular processes to ecosystems and evolution. It encompasses research and practice across numerous sub-disciplines such as genetics, ecology, and microbiology, with active communities in academia, industry, and citizen science.

A broad scientific space encompassing the study of matter, its properties, composition, and transformations through experimental and theoretical approaches, uniting research, education, and industrial applications across multiple specialized subfields.

A broad domain encompassing communities dedicated to protecting the environment, conserving resources, and promoting sustainable practices across energy, agriculture, design, and policy. It includes distinct sub-communities—from climate activists and conservationists to renewable energy developers and circular economy advocates—each with unique rituals, terminology, and engagement platforms.
