Have you ever referred to Physics Forums to help in your professional capacity?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Wonder if anyone mentions it in "broader impacts" on their NSF proposals
 
I've actually googled for the answer to a question and come up with a post of mine that answered it!
 
I wonder if any people put "Physicsforums.com Homework Helper" on their CV.
 
Sure, but only for things where I could independently verify that the advice was useful.
