Connection Info

UPDATE 8:00 EDT April 23: The audio problems are supposed to be fixed as of late yesterday afternoon but we did not have time to check. Please try EVO first for sound, but use ReadyTalk as a backup. Natalia will try to keep remote attendees updated by EVO chat (or email directly -- toron AT jlab).

UPDATE 11:30 EDT April 22: We are having trouble with EVO audio -- remote people cannot hear the meeting through EVO. As a backup, remote listeners have been using ReadyTalk: US 866-740-1260 International 303-248-0285, Access code: 2855115(#). The EVO connection is still running for video of the slides and chat.

Remote participants can join the meeting using SeeVogh/EVO. This is a commercial service and you will need to register, but should be able to do so for free with a JLab email address (see this link for details).

Connections will be available from 8am April 22 to 3pm April 23, EDT (GMT-4)
