Professor Esther Crawley (University of Bristol) - What is new in paediatric Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Myalgic Encephalopathy (ME) research
Mood Disorders Centre Think Tank seminar series

This lecture is at 12 noon until 1 pm at Exeter University on Friday 17th November.

It is part of the Mood Disorders think tank series (!)

Anyone going?

Oh mood disorder. Sure ME isn't an eating disorder?? Or a disorder for kids who are obsessed with video games?

This got to be a joke.

 

[SilverbladeTE]

She gives me a RIGHT effing "mood disorder"!

The Think-Tank is free of charge and anyone is invited to join us, no registration is required.

I am unsure if there will be snacks provided, but historically, they do seem quite keen on sickness rolls.

Is it free because nobody would pay to listen to that crap? Is she actually going into a tank? Water or military?

Sickness rolls don't sound appetising

 

[NelliePledge]

I would bet her talk will be about the effing Smile trial

More about how "someone has to give a voice to the patients"

Just returned home after a VERY interesting meeting.

A report will be posted soon.

Look forward to it. Having only recently discovered the " scientific method" i never cease to be amazed at how fluid this is for ME

I liked Elon Musks statement of this.

1. Ask a question.
2. Gather as much evidence as possible about it.
3. Develop axioms based on the evidence, and try to assign a probability of truth to each one.
4. Draw a conclusion based on cogency in order to determine: Are these axioms correct, are they relevant, do they necessarily lead to this conclusion, and with what probability?
5. Attempt to disprove the conclusion. Seek refutation from others to further help break your conclusion.
6. If nobody can invalidate your conclusion, then you're probably right, but you're not certainly right.

Its just astonishing that she remains deputy head of the CMRC, that Holgate continues to support her and prohibits any criticism of her whilst she goes around the country blatantly making stuff up.

The CMRC is a joke and she is the headlining comedienne!!!!
