Katz webinar on XMRV Coming up on Thursday

Cort

Phoenix Rising Founder
I think this webinar with Katz, the Blood Specialist could be interesting. He really lead the way on raising the alarm on XMRV and CFS and he's shown the ability to be kind of outspoken at time. (Will he be on Thursday?).

More importantly he appears to be knee-deep in the federal effort to understand XMRV. Apparently he's going to talk about what the various entities of that effort presented at a recent workshop and detail where the feds are at in their big study on it.

Its Thursday 2-3 pm EDT.

Will be interesting to see which way the government will go on this. Will they push the prostate-XMRV line as the research sector has, or will they finally get behind CFS? Will this translate into more funding for CFS-XRMV?

Anyone else having sound trouble? I can't hear anything!

Edit: I don't think it has started yet.

I got no sound. Tried quitting and joining in again but no joy. There was a message saying "Go to Meeting is experiencing audio problems." sigh.

At 2:08 Kim interrupted and said audio isn't working. Dr. Katz agreed to start over. I finally decided to call in to the GoToMeeting phone# and I can hear them trying to figure out the audio problem...so you're not missing anything! 2:10pm...
