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). A lot of these are gone from the web, but some of the ones that are still up (so far) are:

• March 5 New York Times (free registration required to view site)
• interview on the BBC Web site (radio)
• Discussion on BBC
• Space.com
• The Guardian
• National Geographic news service
• Nature
• auf Deutsch Der Spiegel
  
  and even a blogs (although only this one seems to still be around)

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