I'm sure it will be just as big a let down and just as steeped in misunderstanding as every other bit of media exposure MCS has gotten in Australia.

No it wont be hixxy, they may be putting me onto the radio for it, Ive already spoken to them. I wont be mentioning ME/CFS as this is solely to try to get more recogition on MCS and the problems around this (only one battle can be fought at a time)

I dont know about other aussie states but one of my old specialists he helped get in place state government guidelines here for our public hospitals around MCS. Unfortunately those state guidelines do get ignored so I end up suffering hospital abuse and its one of the things I wish to bring up.

Im so nervous, the segment should be starting now any moment

that went very well though I didnt to say much but I did get to explain some of the severe symptoms MCS gives me (I was first up). The presentor is interested in doing a future MCS segment.

If anyone was listening, did I sound okay? Was all my langage ok?

Most of MCS interview was interviewing Professor Anne Steinemann about her research. She is doing good studies into chemicals and those who have problems with them. https://findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/display/person709828

Anne Steinemann is Professor of Civil Engineering, and Chair of Sustainable Cities, at the University of Melbourne, Australia. She is internationally recognized for her research in areas of engineering and sustainability, including (a) indoor air quality, product emissions, and exposure assessment, and (b) drought management, indicators, and information systems.

Professor Steinemann serves as adviser to governments and industries around the world, and has directed more than $24 million in competitive research funding.

Her work has resulted in new federal and state legislation, agency policies, and industry practices. Professor Steinemann has received the highest teaching awards at the college, university, and national levels.

She has published over 55 peer-reviewed journal articles and two textbooks: Microeconomics for Public Decisions, and Exposure Analysis. In addition to academic recognition, Professor Steinemann's research and journal articles have received significant international media coverage, spanning more than 1,000 major newspapers, magazines, and broadcast stations across six continents.
