Join us on Monday, May 12 at 3PM Eastern Time for a special episode on ME Awareness Day.
We will be joined by three unique individuals with distinct backgrounds and expertise related to myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). Our guests include:
Ryan Prior: Ryan is a journalist, film producer, and social entrepreneur from Atlanta, GA. A former writer for The Daily Beast and USA Today, he is now executive producer and writer of the feature film Forgotten Plague (http://mecfsdocumentary.com/; previous working title: The Blue Ribbon). The documentary focuses on the role that major new trends in Big Data and genomic medicine play in addressing ME/CFS and transforming the future of medicine. In conjunction with the film, he is co-founder of the Blue Ribbon Foundation which will promote the documentary and install first-year medical students at top neuro-immune institutes.
Leonard Jason: Leonard is a professor of psychology at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois, where he also directs the Center for Community Research. His chief professional interests include the study of chronic fatigue syndrome, smoking, smoking cessation, and Oxford House recovery homes for substance abuse. His interest in chronic fatigue syndrome began when he was diagnosed with the condition in 1990 after having mononucleosis. Check out his book "Principles of Social Change": http://www.amazon.com/Principles-So...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1399569615&sr=1-1
