I had no idea the Dr. Lipkin was nominated for CFSAC!! How exciting. To have a virologist of his stature interested in sitting on our committee shows his committment to this illness. He is involving himself with ME/CFS in a couple different ways, how can we be anything less than thrilled.
Thanks Cort for a very informative article. It is great to hear so many new initiatives are being undertaken.
I am hoping that the gene studies that Bond University are undertaking will shed some light on ME/CFS also.
Thanks Cort for this up-lifting article. We need to hear good news these days. I know there is some disagreement concerning the name ( The Chronic Fatigue Initiative- no "syndrome" in the title) but I don't care. I just want to see research, lots of it, into ME/CFS.
Thanks for this, Cort. With all the distress over the WPI's current situation, this massive injection of $10 million has gone strangely overlooked! And it's not just the money, it's the line-up. Stellar.
Any plans to write up the IACFS/ME conference? I was really grateful for your Twitter messages but I'd love to see a fuller account of the highlights.
BTW, I couldn't put my comment on the main article page - I don't know if others are having that problem. It just wouldn't start loading.
Thank you Cort. Very interesting.
It all sounds very promising and hopeful.
And it's nice to hear some positive news after all of the recent events.
I'm also looking forward to reading your report on the Canadian conference.
There doesn't seem to be any info about it anywhere... I've only read your tweets.
But I was very intrigued to hear that Nancy Klimas has replicated Jonathan Kerr's gene expression research (unless i've misunderstood that), and that the spinal protein work is going strong and being built upon... And then there was the australian reseracher's work on cytotoxic T-cells which sounds very interesting.
Thanks Cort for highlighting several positive things that are going on right now.
It is so important to keep focused on what we can do, and what is being accomplished.

The researchers working with CFI are looking for real, physical problems with a budget that we finally deserve. Yes, this is good stuff, very good.

Full coverage of a most interesting is coming. Thanks for telling me about the comments problem - I'm working on it.
