Cort published today an account of the very impressive research that Dr Jarred Younger is doing at the University of Alabama (which aims to be a major player in ME/CFS). It looks at the role of neuroinflammation and the microglia in ME/CFS.
Dr Younger needs help in choosing videos to use in an upcoming study and we can help do that. Please take part!
A rare opportunity to help in a major biomedical research programme from the comfort of our own sofas! Let's get stuck in.

UAB said:Research study: Reactions to videos
What is involved?
The Neuroinflammation, Pain & Fatigue Lab at the University of Alabama in Birmingham invites you to participate in a 40-minute study that involves watching videos and rating how they make you feel.
The study is completed on-line. After watching the 6 short videos, you will be asked a series of questions about how you felt while watching the video.
Your responses will be anonymous; the only information we will ask you to provide is your gender and approximate age (please participate only if you are at least 19 years old).
There will be no compensation provided for your participation. Your answers will be completely anonymous. We ask that you try to watch all the videos, but you are free to stop participating at any time.
If you agree to watch the videos and complete the questions, please press the ‘yes’ box at the bottom of the page. Pressing ‘no’ will exit you from this study.
Why are we doing this?
Your responses will help us determine the best videos to use in our future projects.
