Abstract: 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 so on. I will focus on this post-research collaborative process
in physics, primarily through the lens that is Physical Review Letters.
Bio: Samindranath (Sami) grew up in Kolkata and Delhi, and received his Ph.D. at Indiana University (Bloomington)
in 1994 on theoretical aspects of the quantum Hall effect. After working on chemical physics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, he joined Physical Review Letters. Among his other responsibilities are papers on transport properties
in semiconductors, 2D materials, and mesoscopic systems.
