    Great presentation, great video and recording work. Love the side by side presenter and slides. Several other groups have posted presentations by Dr Moncrieff on YouTube, and this was the best produced, as well as very clearly presented. I was disappointed to miss the conference this year, and thrilled to be able to experience a little of it with this format. Also a potentially great way to share important ideas with colleagues. Thanks!!

    It would be great if we also get CE credits for watching your pre recorded webinars. you can also have a questionnaire at the end of each webinar for the viewer before granting the CE credit.

    A great presentation. I learned so much. Would be ecstatic to see more informative webinars with such great production value. I tell everyone I know, especially the general public about The Therapeutics Initiative. CE would be an added plus.
