Had good conversations with Tuller, Whittemore, Davis, Klimas and Unger.

Vicky Whittemore-- what a delightful person to talk to! Very dedicated to helping patients. She also enthusiastically offered to help me with my pet project: getting the Kaiser Permanente website changed. In particular removing GET and CBT from the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome section.

Unger was surprised I grew up with ME/CFS just 4 doors down from one of her CDC colleagues.
