@Countrygirl are you able to watch it? I can see the screen but there is nothing happening. They are now 1 hour and 15 minutes late for the first roundtable starting 9:15 EST. I can't reach anyone at the organization either. I wonder if the livestreaming isn't working???

I cannot find any link and I have received no email after registering. The video on the page following registration just shows a general video about how it affects people.

Hate that I missed the Klimas talk. Anyone have key points the medical presentation of advocacy was about?
