AI Thread Summary
To follow a specific contributor on PF, navigate to their profile page by clicking their name in a post or through the Members section. There is a "follow" link at the top of the profile page that allows you to do this without using Facebook. Users have inquired about the functionality on the iPhone app, noting the absence of a "follow" link in that interface. Clarifications on mobile app features are still needed. Following contributors enhances engagement and keeps users updated on their activity.

Another question regarding general PF function... I've noticed that some of your contributors have "followers", but I've not seen how that is done. Can I "follow" a specific contributor without using Facebook or something like that? If so, how?

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.
