You won't find many of our physicists posting in General Discussion.

What do you consider "actual physicists"? Are grad students physicists? People with PhD's working in an entirely different field? Or are only professors physicists?

 

[theobserver]

In this case people doing the actual research.

Too busy ...it's going critical ... got to go..
It's a good question. I'm curious also.

By "here" do you mean the General Discussion forum specifically, or Physics Forums as a whole?

A number of physicists who actually do research, post on Physics Forums. Some of the mentors are among this group. They tend to post more in the physics-specific forums, and less often in General Discussion.

 

[theobserver]

I mean the entire forum.

Look at the member list: https://www.physicsforums.com/memberlist.php?order=DESC&sort=posts&pp=30

I've arrange it by post count (so you can see the people who are around most) and take a look at the "occupation" or "education" sections. That will outline a good few for you.
