| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Plenary Session. |
| 0:09.4 | On this episode of Plenary Session, you're in for a treat. |
| 0:13.4 | I have listener feedback from the last episode of Plenary Session, where we talked about the rates of screening over time. |
| 0:19.4 | Next, I'm back in the thick of things. I'm back in Bill Cap. |

| 1:20.4 | I knew these two things, |
| 1:21.6 | but yet I had these momentary lapses |
