Comments

Identities can interact, ask questions, and discuss posts by making comments on posts. The comment box will appear directly beneath the post itself (if commenting is enabled), with the words “Join the discussion” in the box. To make a comment, simply type into the comment box and click “Add Comment” or hit enter. 
Tip: Remember that you are commenting AS your MySciLife identity! Be sure to speak in character using accurate science, moving the conversation forward, and finding connections between identities and concepts.
Remember: Be constructive! All inappropriate comments will be removed.
