Recording

NOTE: We experienced technical difficulties at the beginning of the webinar in regards to the recording. Due to this we are unable to show the introduction portion of the webinar presented by Dr. Lucinda Halstead. Her slides are available below. This issue also effected the discussion with Neal McCoy. We do, however, have a small amount of audio from Neal's portion of the webinar which is also included below.
