    Nov 6 2012: Exactly! And, I don't know if you read the comment directly above yours, but recently, big portions of the science community have tried to break down this language barrier. However, someone could have the simplest, most brilliant idea in the world and be able to shout it out in their loudest voice, but since ideas are such an intensely personal thing, they may not feel like they are in the environment to do so or that it is even within their power to try.

    Nov 6 2012: Those sound like great site and places to go, and I am surprised that none of my professors have pointed me in that direction, but idea I have goes beyond the Q and A. It is more of an idea sharing concept than the one way flow of information that reading journals or using search engines provides. Those sites could be a fantastic place to start, but I feel that since ideas or potentially the most personal thing for someone - especially a scientist - to share, why shouldn't idea sharing between the science and lay communities be made more personal than a search engine?
