Physics after the lab and the desk: Your work in PRL

Dr. Samindranath Mitra (Editor, Physical Review Letters, USA)

Physics research takes place mostly at your desk, at the keyboard, in the lab. You communicate results through posters, talks, and papers --leading to, hopefully, wide dissemination and recognition. The sequence entails interacting with journal editors, referees, conference chairs, journalists, and others. I will focus on this post-research collaborative process in physics, now in a state of flux in the age of social media and Google Scholar, primarily through the lens that is Physical Review Letters.
