Here are our upcoming "Ask the Scientist" CuSeeMe videoconferences: Reflector: 128.42.249.172 (if it isn't working, try 198.64.198.250) (Please check out your equipment beforehand by linking to one of these reflectors; let us know by the "chat" window or by email to connect@space.rice.edu if you have difficulty hearing). Note: some schools are now behind "firewalls" and can no longer connect to our videoconferences. If that's true for you, let us know. We may be able to arrange a web-accessible conference which can get through the firewall!
