As I am fairly new to this forum, can I ask the question what the value/purpose of these "Insight" articles is? In particular, are any of the people who might benefit from these articles actually reading them?

To educate, inform, and entertain

Of course, we've gotten very good feedback so far

Can you tell them to slow down.
My skull is full, and every time I read a new one, excess brain oozes out of my ears. :oldruck:

Seriously though, they are great!

BTW, who's idea was this?

Haven't your mom ever told you to close your head or your brain will ooze out?

It came to Greg in a dream. :)

Before sitting down to read PF I wear this to keep my brains inside my head

The idea is nothing if we didn't have an amazing group of authors!

I agree, PF Insights is off to an incredible start. We have 6 more articles in the pipeline to be published and many drafts being developed at this very moment. It's amazing! Our community is truly full of interesting people! We've been attracting a lot of attention on social media lately.

The orange "Insights" link in the top nav now has a drop down for easy access to the formats. FAQ will be added shortly. Clicking the main tab still sends you to the main Insights page.

Hi, I submitted my personal details, when I will be able to write the actual article? (PS: I messed up the email, but now I updated my profile so the two emails are the same now)

Is there a process of having the insights reviewed before publishing?
I have this strange feeling that my chicken is going to get run over by a car, before it gets even halfway across the road. ...
And the field. How does one describe "the field"?
Ah ha! Chickens are surrounded by a field, which visually, mimics the square root law. Or was that the inverse square law?
No matter. Semantics will take a back seat. Math's be in the drivers seat!
