A film crew from Discovery Channel Canada is coming to Austin this month, looking for “New, sexy, cool science or technology that’s in the works — not products already available.”
Have you been working on a prototype of a time machine in your basement? Got cold fusion solved in your garage? They’re looking for you. The segments will be for a new show called “Daily Planet,” which is expected to air worldwide.
One caveat: They say they’re not looking for Internet-based technology.
If you’re interested, send “a short overview of the technology along with your company URL” to this e-mail address. The deadline is 5 p.m. Thursday (May 8).
Good luck, technologists!
