Hello, I was wondering if this lecture would be recorded and made available afterwards? I would really like my students to see this, but the time conflicts with a couple different classes. If not, I understand, and thank you for your time.

Please let the participants know if Dr. Nelson was able to get help. A number of us are extremely worried.
