We highly encourage scholars to attend the seminar sessions of other teams as well. It will be a great opportunity to learn about your peers' research and ask questions. -Scholars **must sign up** for every seminar they intend to attend by filling out the respective registration forms [here](./seminar_presentations2.md). +Scholars **must sign up** for every seminar they intend to attend, including the session assigned to their own team, by filling out the respective registration forms [here](./seminar_presentations2.md). The scholars who sign up for the seminar session their team is presenting at are automatically registered for the networking session with researchers from [CMIP](https://wcrp-cmip.org/) and [LEAP](https://leap.columbia.edu/) that will take place immediately after the presentations. However, it was not always possible to accommodate the timeslot preferences of everyone in a team. If your group's session falls during your night-time, we can sign you up for the networking part of another session as long as there is a time that works for you.
