There are several ways to connect with people in a specific field and share opinions, findings, and educational materials related to that subject. ResearchGate is a website that provides scientists with a forum to share and discuss their research as well as find collaborators. LinkedIn is another platform that can be used for professional networking. You can also consider using social media platforms such as Twitter or Facebook groups that are dedicated to your field of interest.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
