AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding a quality biology forum for in-depth discussions and clarification of concepts. Participants suggest that while general biology questions can be posted on existing platforms like Physics Forum (PF), specialized forums may be more suitable for detailed inquiries. One recommended resource is the Molecular Biology forum at micro.nwfsc.noaa.gov, which focuses on techniques in molecular biology. The conversation also hints at the possibility of using news groups, such as Talk Origins, for specific topics like evolution. Overall, the emphasis is on utilizing available resources effectively for biology-related questions.

Anybody know where I can find a good biology forum? One that discusses issues in detail; for example, in clearing certain concepts up? Kind of like physicsforum, except biologyforum.

If you mean a forum where you can ask questions about biological topics, then I'd just say post your question here, on the PFs.
 
PF is a fine place to ask biology related questions, but if you want to get really in depth into certain fields, then you might want to find a specialised forum.

For example, I know of http://micro.nwfsc.noaa.gov/forums/ as a Molecular Biology forum which is good for asking questions about techniques in molecular biology.


But anything non-super-specialised you can just ask here. There are plenty of biologists here (myself for example.)

What concepts did you have in mind?
 
Feel free to use this Other Sciences forum in PF.

Not sure about other biology-only forums. Perhaps a news group? (like Talk Origins for evolution).
