Dear Richard,

As an active member of the AWG community, I am currently involved in the ‘Lunar regolith’ subgroup project, contributing a chapter to the book on growing plants on lunar regolith. I have also recently joined the ‘Hardware’ group.

I believe that the ‘Microgravity analogue literature review’ group would also be of interest to me, and I would be grateful if you would accept my membership request and send me an invitation to the remote meetings through a calendar link.

Kind regards

Rafael Kubik

Dear Dr. Barker, I hope this message reaches you well. I am interested and would be more than honored to go through the microgravity analogue literature review on my spare time.

Hello, I’d be happy to help.

I could use AI to screen the paper list by reviewing titles, abstracts, and journals, helping identify the most relevant studies and flag likely false positives or irrelevant ones. I could also help organize the papers by theme and create a shortlist for deeper review.

Prof Sikes is planning to look over the current draft this summer to see if he can work out how best to move it forward to peer review.

@ben.sikes ? Follwing up because im trying make sure we dont have lots of open projects (and people like Michelle following up on), when the projects arent actually ongoing. Thanks!

93

Thanks for following up. It’s moved to peer-reviewed.

94

Thank you for clarifying. I understand. I agree it is important to avoid keeping projects open if they are not actively moving forward.

From my side, I am still interested in contributing, but I also understand that the group needs to confirm whether this project is officially ongoing, has active leadership, and has a clear next step.

Please let me know if there is anything I should do or if I should wait for confirmation about the project status.

For some reason I’m not seeing this as a message or linked to me in OSDR. Where should I be looking for these type of things? You tagged me so a but frustrating that I can’t find where it is there.

I talked with Richard a couple of weeks ago about this. We are scheduling a time for me to understand what it’s about a determine if it’s something I can carry forward.

Sincerely,
Ben

Sorry on the frustrations. Willing to chat to rectify and show you the Forum setup

And good to know on next steps for this potential sub-group project. I strive to help make sure lingering subgroups dont stay public for too long over when they have lost their activity, so new members dont waste too much time joining something inactive

97

Makes a lot of sense. I talked with Richard. They’ve got a lot written but I’m not sure when/if I have the capacity to translate all of that into the paper he envisions. So in that regard, I’d guess it’s probably a good idea to shutter this subgroup until that boots back up. That would be my opinion though. I’m just getting brought in though so not sure if I’m the one to make the call.

Very much appreciate all you do, Ryan. It’s career-changing for a lot of folks that join AWG, including me.Ben
