AI Thread Summary
The process for nominating a poster as a Scientific Advisor involves suggesting the individual via private message to a mentor. Mentors and existing Science Advisors will review the nominee's posting history, quality, temperament, and collaborative skills. Criteria also include the nominee's ability to acknowledge mistakes. It is recommended to handle nominations through private messages rather than public threads. This ensures a more structured and discreet evaluation process.

Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
