okay - here's
what I got together
Here is the gem of the interview in my mind:
25:40 Hillerby “In a couple of weeks we’ll be hosting a scientific symposium here and have some great physicians and researchers from around the country, the National Cancer Institute, NIH, others coming to the medical school and to WPI to be a part of this research."
25:55 Erwine: "It must be gratifying to have people coming from all around the country, and all around the world, just to come and see what you folks are doing"
-----------
A couple of weeks!That sounds like it will be pre-1st International Workshop on XMRV. How great that all these physicians and researchers will learn what WPI has to offer first - and then go to the workshop with that knowledge base.

and also:
First off, kudos to KUNR for being so quickly responsive to requests to have the interview posted.
I was extremely impressed by both WPI VP Mike Hillerby, who is as good as Dr Donnica Moore at squeezing every iota out of a soundbyte, and covering every base, and Dan Erwine, an astute, informed and sympathetic interviewer. And Mike's main message was that research and results are happening much more quickly than they expected, and that this is a time of hope.
Here are a few points I transcribed. After a few seconds for the podcast to load, you can move the cursor to approximately the time you want.
24:43 Hillerby: in some cases a retrovirus can quit expressing itself......(pairallels with HIV/AIDS)
25:12 We have a lot of research left to understand how XMRV is spread, how it operates in different people’s bodies, why some people have it and aren’t showing any... uh, aren’t symptomatic. A lot of work is left to be done on that.
25:28 And now it’s about is this in fact a diagnosis tool. Can it be a diagnostic tool for CFS and other diseases? We need to continue to do a lot more work. More researchers are getting very intrigues and very involved in the field
26:00 the clinic part won’t come til late in the fall
(note: the last 2 points are summaries, not transcriptions)
44:07 Long-term plan to have a list of good ME/CFS doctors
50:58 Planning on having a clinic where doctors work hand in hand with researchers
The only thing I didn't like in the whole 52 minutes was the introduction, where Erwine said that symptoms include a constant exhaustion that leads to a type of depression. Noticeable place for such a misleading statement.
