It seems this forum lacks appropriate subfora for many large branches of science. I'll just name a few that come to mind (NB: the ones I wanted to post threads about, but found no good place to really do so):
- Economic sciences: in particular economics and finance.
- Social sciences: important ones are anthropology, archeology, linguistics and political science.
- Cognitive sciences: most importantly neuroscience, psychology and artificial intelligence.
Of the above, not having a Cognitive Science subforum seems particularly lacking since it is 'harder science' opposed to the others which are 'soft science'. This is especially true seeing how technical the subject has become and how rapidly it is gaining popularity, importance and overall ground within both society and academia.
I think having a Cognitive Science subforum would go great in line with the other science subfora. Moreover it could attract new users to Physics Forums, which is already largely equipped to become a pioneering haven of online discussion for these subjects.
