AI Thread Summary
The suggestion is made to rename the "people in physics" forum to "people in science" to better reflect the diverse scientific discussions that could occur. The current focus is primarily on physics, limiting engagement from other scientific disciplines. A broader title could attract more traffic and contributions from biologists, chemists, and astronomers. This change is seen as beneficial for fostering a more inclusive scientific community. Overall, the proposal aims to enhance the forum's appeal and relevance to a wider audience.

Hey greg, i was just thinking that maybe you and sting should change the title of the "people in physics" forum to "people in science" because so far all the topics in there are just about physics people with the exception of a poll...and I do understand that this site is physics forums but you have all kinds of sciences on the site and, I think maybe a little more traffic would come in if it could be you know, biologists, chemists, astronomers etc.

i think people in science is good..
 
People in science does seem to fit a little better. Heck, someone might not even be "in physics" and have a lot to offer to the physics world.
 
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...
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...
