SfN and event staff will be on this call to help with the text chat and answer any other questions. The session recording will be broadcast at the scheduled time. You will write a welcome message (suggested text provided by SfN) to let the audience know you are available to answer questions during the session. Once the broadcast of your prerecorded session begins, you may continue to talk on the Zoom call as this is not broadcast to the audience.
