AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the creation of new forums for scientific discussions, with a particular focus on science education and pedagogics. Participants express interest in having a dedicated space for discussing optimal teaching methods for science and math. There is a suggestion to replace the MKaku boards, with the hope of occasional posts from the figure, though it is acknowledged that this is unlikely. A new forum titled "Academic and Career Guidance" has been established within the science education zone, aimed at providing valuable resources for members. Overall, the community is enthusiastic about enhancing the platform for educational discussions.

I voted "both", but with the stipulation that we dump the MKaku boards.
 
It would've been great to see MKaku post every once in a while. I'm sure even with his busy schedule he'd still have some time to sit at home in his computer and post even once a year

He won't, however we are setting up 3-4 chat events with him by the end of the year.
 
I voted for "Science in Education"
As it happens, I have for some time wondered if a "Science education/Pedagogics" forum might be of value.
How to teach science&maths in an "optimal" way will raise a number of issues, and I would think it is relevant to many PF members professionally.
 
I voted basically in the same way as arildno : I am much more interested in "how to teach" than in "where to learn" :smile:
 
Cool! Based on some recent discussions in General Discussion, I think such a forum is needed and will be very helpful to many.
