Keep talking and honing our understanding, maybe? I don't necessarily mean reading up on biochemistry if we as individuals don't know much about...
I know it's not what you want to hear, but no. It must be incredibly hard for her, and for you as a parent, but maybe look at it this way: most...
Hear hear. His comment about the strong evolutionary conservation of IRG1 and its activity/products also struck me as interesting.
Yeah, looks like they're just getting ready. The link's live.
Yeah, I can see that it's arguable both ways—are difficult phenomena best approached by dissecting them or looking for the right position to view...
That's what I meant by unusual: people with what we call ME/CFS aren't driven to lie down for those reasons. They might choose to lie down for...
[This is only meant as a response to your thoughts, I don't expect answers! ;)] Yep, that's clearer. But how does the fact that we already have...
It does sound complicated, and a lot will depend on what it is you're really trying to get at. It seems to be sort of about subgroups, but also...
Doesn't that apply in almost every field with tough competition, though? I've never worked in science, but it often did in those I am familiar...
And senior researchers who are interested seem to be pretty good at finding bright minds to work with them, if Chris Ponting is anything to go by....
Yup, and the really sad thing is that you can't have enough of an overview to know things like that at 16. I hope they don't let her down too badly.
Playing devil's advocate (who, me?) I'd say that if the people and the ideas really are good, they'll win the support of individuals who have real...
The funding should start to come once we have something to research. Problem is that we don't yet, and even if there was a big research fund...
No, but I guess anyone could get contractures from very prolonged immobility?
Thank you for that, it is really interesting. It's always heartening to see people stubbornly persisting at something and questioning received...
I have the same concern about being asked to account for it. I couldn't easily say what I spend mine on anyway because it changes so much. Some...
Sorry, I'd missed @paulendat's idea about recording it. It wouldn't be quite the same for members in the wrong time zone (or just in the wrong...
It'd probably be the middle of the night for our members in Australia and New Zealand, though. They must be something like 15 hours ahead of...
I'd enjoy eavesdropping on it, but the timings might be tricky—we have members in the UK and Europe, NZ and Australia, and various parts of north...
I understand that, and agree. But once we're testing drugs that modify the underlying cause of ME/CFS, the changes should be more visible. We're...
Separate names with a comma.
