Chat With Dr Cohen Tonight - 9 PM Eastern

[Guest guest]

Tonight, we have a special guest expert joining us in the Mitochondrial

Chat at the MDA site thus we will be using the following chat format.

Please read the instructions and copy them if necessary.

As you enter the room, you will be given a number which will be

openly given on the chat site. That number is sequential thus in the

order you entered. When your number comes up, you may ask one

question and only one question will be open for the doctor at a

time. When he has completed answering the question the next person

in the sequential order will be allowed to post their question. You

will be notified by private message when it is your turn to ask your

question just prior to the time to post it. You might find it

helpful to have pre-posted the question in preparation for entering

but be very careful not to hit the send key until you have been

given clearance to do so. Please post your question in ALL CAPS as

this will help Dr. Cohen recognize each new question. In this case -

it will not be considered shouting. When our guest has completed

answering the question he will post a " ? " to let us know that he

is ready for the next question to be sent.

Please reserve this chat for questions to be asked of our guest

only. It is a very special gift of time and expertise that the guest

is offering us and we should remember to treat our guest with respect.

If you wish to chat with someone in the room, please go to the private chat

and communicate. Anyone who violates the instructions will receive a

warning. If a second warning is necessary, the person will lose

their privilege to be in the chat and will be removed. We hope that

we don't find it necessary to do this.

The chat transcript will be available on the MDA website as soon as

it has been edited by Dr. Cohen and the MDA Chat Administrator.

Sometimes this takes a considerable amount of time as these

individuals are very busy. We ask for your patience while this is

being prepared. We are very happy you have joined us tonight and

hope you enjoy this special chat session. We also express our

gratitude in advance to Dr. Cohen for being with us tonight.
