Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 5 | Hi everyone, I'm posting this message with OCF's permission. I work with the Johns Hopkins Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and one of their surgeons, Sara Pai, M.D., Ph.D., will be hosting an online patient educational seminar about human papillomavirus ( HPV) and its connection to head and neck cancers. I thought some members of this forum may be interested in participating in this webinar. It's taking place on Wednesday, May 12, 2011 between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. (EST). To register, visit http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthseminars#online Dr. Pai will give a 20 to 30 minute presentation and then answer questions submitted by people viewing the presentation. The webinar is free and questions can be submitted in advance by emailing [email protected]. If you have any questions or have problems registering, please feel free to contact me.

correction .... I wrote the above post to correct that Wed is May 11th not 12th. When I went to register, I did not see it listed as an option. I will contact them to find out what is wrong.

Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,671 | When I registered, the information included the following note: "Please note that all webinar events are held in Eastern Standard Time." And the date on the registration notice states: "Thursday, May 12, 2011 7:00 PM" which I take it to mean that it is held at 6pm EDT. It also says to log onto http://bit.ly/HPVheadneck a few minutes prior to 7 pm EST and since I am in the Eastern time zone where we are in Eastern Daylight Time, I should log in a few minutes before 6pm EST (which is 7pmEDT). Right?

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.

Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 756 Likes: 1 | I did e-mail Hopkins (did a reply to the e-mail I received). They stated:
"Please log-in at 7pm your time tomorrow night." So the time stated was already in EDT.
I�m in PA so I�m in the same time zone as Hopkins. Also, 7PM EST would be 8PM EDT (spring forward).
