At the recent AAAS meeting (American Association for Advancement of Science), I presented a review of possible propulsion technologies for interstellar flight, as part of a symposium that brought together rocket scientists, anthropologists, linguists, and science fiction writers to talk about interstellar travel. The symposium got quite a lot of publicity (mostly of the gosh wow variety, and much of it emphasizing some very minor points), including:

• March 5 New York Times (free registration required to view site)
• March 19 Boston Glove
• interview on the BBC Web site (radio)
• Discussion on BBC
• Space.com
• Quirks and Quarks (radio)
• UPI
• National Post
• The Guardian
• National Geographic news service
• Knox News [story gone from archives, sorry]
• Nature
• SciForums (repeat of the Nature story)
• MindSpace (repeat of BBC story)
• Cosmiverse web site
• auf Deutsch Der Spiegel
  
  and even a few blogs:
• Banana counting Monkey (scroll down to Feb. 15)
• Web log in Portuguese

I also made the USA Today on Monday (Feb. 18, page 12b).
