Suggestion Bioengineering Forum: Is it Possible?

  • Thread starter Thread starter Kevlarji
  • Start date Start date
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of establishing a bioengineering forum within the engineering section. Participants debate whether bioengineering aligns more closely with biology than engineering, considering the nature of the field. There is a consensus that new forums should be created based on existing traffic rather than potential future interest. The effectiveness of member contributions from engineering versus biology backgrounds is also questioned. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the need for careful consideration before adding new forums.

Is is possible that we could get a bio-engineering forum under the engineering section?
 
Physics news on Phys.org

We don't open new forums in anticipation of a traffic, we open new forums to channel the traffic that already exists.
 

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

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...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

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...
