Exploring the Need for a Biophysics Subsection in Physics Forums

Thread starter Freyguy
Start date Feb 14, 2009

AI Thread Summary

There is currently no dedicated Biophysics section in the Physics Forums. The creation of such a subsection depends on demonstrated demand from the community. The forum administrators suggest that if there were significant interest, biology mentors would likely have requested it. The discussion indicates a need for community input to justify the establishment of a Biophysics category. Overall, the suggestion remains open for consideration based on user interest.

Is there a Biophysics section somewhere?
I think it would be a good idea to have a Biophysics subsection in the Physics topics forums.

Welcome freyguy.

A subsection will only be created if there is seen to be a need to do so. If there were demand for such a forums I believe some of our biology mentors would have asked for it by now.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. 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...

Thread 'Some better explanation of Push Notifications'

I found through a search some brief commentary but not enough. Exactly how use and activate and deactivate Push Notifications for Physicsforums? I see some wording at bottom of forum's front page: Physics Forums would like your permission to enable push notifications.
