Public relations for the physics community

Cepheid variables, Friedman universes, continuous creation—these are some of the topics to be discussed at an upcoming cosmology seminar on Jan. 25 in New York City before a group of the nation's science writers. This will be the twenty‐first in a series of such seminars, originated six years ago by American Institute of Physics Public Relations head Eugene Kone as a physics education program for the press. Each seminar is a day‐long meeting at which a panel of four to seven specialists discuss different subareas of a single discipline.
