Description (eng): Training conference evaluating and expressing uncertainty in measurements and testing hypotheses, with emphasis on the frontier cases typical of particle physics experiments
Internal comment: Nobody speaks until 0:02:08, sound switches from playing in just one ear to playing in both
Internal comment: Sound only in right ear
Internal comment: Sound sometimes only in right ear

Physical medium: Source is paper
