 When writing :ref:`nwb-schema:sec-TimeSeries` data, avoid using negative timestamps.

-While negative timestamps are technically valid, they might introduce unnecessary complications for future users of the file. In most cases, negative timestamps may be indicative of an alignment error or a problem with the source data. As much as possible, re-align the session start time so that all timestamps are positive and correctly referenced to either ``timestamps_reference_time`` or ``session_start_time``.
