How did you find PF?

Web research and searches

Hi All,

Glad to be on this forum, I'm an imaging software developer mainly turned physics researcher in photonics and it became apparent how closed off some science institutions can be contacting and getting any engagement with any science proffesional if your not affiliated to an institution however, speaking to a junior doctor once you get face to face and describe any research its pretty easy to engage even though you may not have a Phd etc and with this kind of science discovery finding "how to" best move forward in the arena is the key.

Firstly though its worth noting some journals are more accessable and even bigger ones like AAS but above all It all starts with credible empirical evidence and more so speaking the language of science journal writing. Not all science papers are calculation heavy but even so you need it to communicate any factors of anything as a rule. If you've re-written an abstract and introduction 50 times thats tenacity. Advice from a thesis adjudicator. Keep on coming back to it!
