nwbwidgets [Bug]: nwbwidgets incompatible with pynwb

What happened?

I cannot get nwbwidgets to work with pynwb (version 3.0). I installed pynwb first, and then installed nwbwidgets, both using pip. This is the import error that I am getting:

It seems like the bug is due to the recent update on hdmf. I was able to run nwbwidgets after downgrading the hdmf with the following code: pip install -U hdmf==3.14.6

Thanks for your help! This did help, but now I am getting this message:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ipython_genutils'

Any advice? From searching it looks like a jupyter notebook issue...do you have a preferred coding program to run this out of?
