- Referenced articles on Newsletter Science X
I am a retired IT professional interested in many of the sciences. I read some of the discussions on this forum and find them interesting. I specifically noted the questions by non-experts wanting to know more (which I am) and the non-contentious and well-put responses that indicated to me a nice, well-grounded area for discussion and potential learning - as well as links to follow-up and books that are suggested.
After appx 40 years in IT my brain had settled too deeply in the concerns of the rapidly evolving IT field and I lost sight of some of the other wonderful things of the world - mostly since keeping up with technology took up most of my brain cells for much too long.
I was happy to find Newsletter Science X not long ago and found this site after reading some articles. I've been a member of Mensa for some time, assuming I would get some brain nourishment there, but found their discussions rather limited in scope, biased at times and not including the references and information I've seen here so far. But maybe it's because, as my sister said, Mensa must have made a mistake letting me in.
