If anyone would like to help me set up these communities and/or mod, please get in touch. This place is what we make it and I’d love some fresh ideas. I mod a number of smaller science subreddits and would like to help make this place just as nice, if not better!

I have some mod experience, but on very different platforms, and not very much free time (especially since I'll be out of town most of July, ha). Should I check back in a month when I'm more available?
