Discover magazine is hosting a live web chat with Lisa Randall this afternoon at 2 pm. Randall is famous for developing some ideas relating to the physics of extra dimensions, and has recently published a popular book (Warped Passages) on the subject.
This is supposed to be a one-hour live chat, with questions taken from the general public. I don't know if I'll have time to drop in (as noted earlier, this is a hectic week for me), but if you're interested in the arcana of modern theoretical physics, check it out.
If they archive it in some useful fashion after the chat, I'll post a link to it later.
