>From Michael Palij <m...@nyu.edu> Subject Late Night With [Insert Name Of Favorite Scientist] Date Tue, 10 Jan 2012 Gee, don'tyou wish that you could sit back, relax with your favorite beverage, and watch a major scientist being interviewed? Yeah, me neither. ;-) But for those who would like to have that experience, the NY Times has an article on an MIT professor who is in essence doing his own "TV talk show". For the article, see: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/10/science/mit-physicist-gives-scientists-an-online-interview-outlet.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha26 For some of the interviews in the series "Cambridge Nights", see: http://cambridgenights.media.mit.edu/ I note that Steve Pinker is included in the new "season" but admit that it is becoming somewhat tiresome to see him again given how many media appearances he makes as well as his need for a good haircut. ;-) -Mike Palij New YorkUniversity m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.
