To the Listmembers: The Women's Health Interactive website will host another teleconference this evening, featuring Dr. Alice Domar of the Harvard Medical School. Once again, there is no charge to attend, and you may ask questions at will. Following are instructions on gettting to the conference: ====================================== *On Thursday, March 20,1997 at 7 p.m. ET*, WHI will conduct an online conference, "Healthy Woman: The Mind-Body Connection." The presenter will be Dr. Alice Domar, Director of the Women's Center at the Harvard Medical School Behavioral Medicine, Mind-Body Institute and author of "Healing Mind, Healthy Woman". Dr. Domar's research and clinical practice have focused upon the application of mind-body methods to health issues like PMS, menopause, infertility, eating disorders, breast and gynecologic cancers. Now here's my technical input: - We will begin the conference promptly at 7pm ET, so if you want to avoid the congestion, you may want to arrive a bit early, sign-in, gather your notepads (sorry we won't be able to supply these) and be ready when Marilyn Hodge starts things off. - The popularity of these conferences means that we may have a technical inability to handle everyone's questions. However, you need not alter your plans to attend, since whether your own question gets displayed or not, you will still be able to be a member of Dr. Domar's audience. Also, keep in mind that following the conference, we will provide an online archive of the entire presentation--so that even if there is too much congestion, you can come back in a few days to review what happened! What's more there will be an ongoing forum, as well as other "mind-body resources" that will be available. - When you reach the conference interface (the place where you sign in), you will note that there is an ability to change "How Many Messages to Display," and "Automatic Refresh Rate" (it's how often the info on the screen changes). Most of our participants have gotten the best results when these are set at 10 (messages) and 20 (refresh rate). It's best to change those settings during sign-in. - I will be quite busy during the conference itself, but please, if you experience any difficulty, let me know afterwards ([log in to unmask]). We're now evaluating the optimum ways to produce events such as this.
