Thanks for this, LJS, and thanks to Cort for the first report from the workshop!

Two questions for those of you who have seen the entire workshop:

1. If you were to recommend say five of the presentations (or discussions) to a medical team just starting to learn about ME/CFS, which would you recommend? I e: Which were the best presentations? (bringing home the message that this certainly is a biomedical disorder)

2. And the opposite: which parts should they not be watching?

We've got a newly started ME/CFS project here, and we'd like to guide the doctors and other medical staff to the best information, making it as accessible as possible. We're thinking we'll hand them a USB with the workshop, plus a paper with recommendations of presentations, marking exactly where they're at on the recording (time wise, if anyone has done this, please share - for example, Bateman starts at xx.xx)

Grateful for your input!
