S
earching the Internet for

quick but often frustrating, and
accuracy can be an issue. Ask-
ing a professional via the expe-
diency and ease of an email pro-
vides answers you need backed
by research you can trust.
Ask an Expert, a free online
question-and-answer
service
of Oregon State University’s

of specialists who will answer
your questions on average with-
in 48 hours.
Since 2011, OSU experts have
answered 16,649 questions, ac-
cording to Jeff Hino, Ask an
Expert coordinator. In 2015, the
number of questions jumped by

far ranging, but questions about
insects, sustainable gardening,
plant identifi cation, lawn care,
and tree and shrub issues are es-
pecially common, he said.
“Oregonians are fi nding re-
search-based answers directly
from our experts,” said Sandy
Reichhuber, the program’s ad-
ministrative program assistant.
