Colloquium with Dr. Sami Mitra, Editor of the prestigious journal Physical Review Letters.

In a talk that I am hoping will quickly morph into a free-flowing Q and A session, I will discuss the role of journals in general and PRL in particular in disseminating physics results, illustrated with a few examples of seminal papers in 2D physics and materials PRL has published over the years. The physical science journal article is always in flux. Still, we should expect even more change in the coming years with developments such as social media, search engines, electronic repositories, and artificial intelligence.
