Additional comments and suggestions:
 * Great! keep it up
 * It was very good; but the quality of WEBX need to be improved more in order to have a smooth transmission. The rest was very good
 * Connection b/n the venue was not good to listen and view
 * Great session keep it up.
 * I like the idea of this awareness - training clinic that involves both comms people and scientists coming together, and discussing common issues or concerns.
 * Awesome, after each clinic, there should be a follow up on next steps or how things can be more forward based on suggestion or recommendations.
 * Great, this is an opportunity to learn how to communicate effectively, we need more sessions.
 * Good, weekly communication tips to staff will enhance effective communication in ad out of ILRI and raise individual and the institutions profile.
