Some meeting etiquette and procedure…

  • If you are not currently presenting, speaking to the meeting, and are not the Session Chair, please make sure your microphone is muted.

  • If you are to address the meeting (e.g. during question time), please state your name and maybe also institution, to give some context, and so we all know who you are!

  • It is up to presenters to use Zoom’s Screenshare on their own computers to display their presentation files to the workshop. Please make sure that you know how to use Screenshare before it’s your turn to present.

Agenda
