Date:11/10/2008

November 7, 2008 -- The 156th Acoustical Society of America (ASA) meeting convenes next week in Florida at the Doral Golf Resort and Spa in Miami. Reporters are invited to visit the ASA World Wide Press Room: (http://www.acoustics.org/press).

On this site are posted news releases and dozens of lay language papers selected from among the 660 talks and posters. They relate to a cross-section of diverse disciplines, including architecture, underwater research, psychology, physics, animal bioacoustics, medicine, music, noise control, and speech.

Lay-language papers detail some of the most newsworthy results at the meeting. They are roughly 500-word summaries written for a general audience by the authors of individual presentations with accompanying graphics and multimedia files. They serve as starting points for journalists who are interested in covering the meeting but cannot attend in person. An index of all the lay language papers on the ASA World Wide Press Room is at: http://www.acoustics.org/press/156th/lay_lang.html.
