[DMANET] Abstract Talk Launch: Short Interviews on some SODA 2012 Papers

************************************************************

Abstract Talk: Collaborative Interviews on Science and Technology

New: Short interviews on a selection of SODA 2012 papers

www.abstract-talk.org

************************************************************

We are very happy to present a selection of short (5-8min) interviews
on papers that will be presented at the ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete
Algorithms 2012.

The goal of www.abstract-talk.org is to promote the work of the
scientific community and to facilitate the easy exchange of new ideas
and new research. We believe that using podcasts and short, informal
discussions and talks we can increases the visibility of research to
people inside and outside the respective research community.  A
podcast episode can be a chat about a new paper, a new book or a
discussion or interview about a research topic. These episodes also
provide an opportunity to learn about new work for researchers that
cannot attend conferences and for students new to the field.

We would like this site to become a collaborative effort of the
scientific community and we invite researchers from all areas of
science and technology who wish to speak about their work or to
interview another researcher to submit short podcasts / interviews
targeted at a broad audience.

Let us know if you have an idea for an interview topic, general
feedback, questions, etc. If you'd like to interview some one yourself
or help us in some other way, contact us! podcast@abstract-talk.org
