The NIH State of the Knowledge Conference will be open to the public. People can attend in person (there is a space to ask for disability accomomdations) and the Conference will also be webcasted live and archived for later viewing.
Unlike the CFSAC meetings, this is primarily a scientific meeting but I encourage people to watch it live or later as
1) the government counts how many people view the meetings
2) you might learn something new!
3) you can write to NIH about anything that doesn't make sense or doesn't ring true
with your experience of ME/CFS
I also encourage our international friends to watch and participate. As the PACE study shows, science is international and what is discussed here might well too affect the science in your countries.
