Wow, that was great article, managed to cover just about everything and no mention of yuppie flu or harassment. Perhaps we are making progress.

Technically the PACE authors could be classified as endangered species, they are a rare breed afterall. The data might spell an end to their era of lies, deception and pseudoscience.

Very good article, with a lot of details.

Love it.

This does make sense, but I am very sceptical of petitions at this stage. I have lost count how many there have been over the last few years alone and none of them seen to have any effect. The anti MEGA one is probably the exception, and was warranted mainly because we needed to refute the Pro...

Seems like Jen is coming around to the idea of criticising Crawley.

Julie seems to be adding weight to the feminist angle :

It's particular good because of the explanation @Jonathan Edwards gives regarding subjective outcomes and blinding. I'm glad the journalist kept all that in the article. Also nice that they left in this bit about PACE :

Jen seems to be focusing on the sexism aspect more in this article than in others.

And don't forget to propose two conflicting hypothesis, you know just to cover all bases.

Since when has autobiographical memory been crucial for goal attainment and even if it was, what has that got to do with coping with a chronic illness? WTF is this nonsense.

I think it has to do with getting donations. The OMF need to let people know that things are happening, and research is "finding things" but at the same time, Ron doesn't have enough to publish by the sounds of it. So the videos help keep patients interested enough to continue donating.

Yes, I was just thinking that it couldn't be reasonably interpreted as prejudicial to an objective interpretation of the evidence.

Which rule would exclude you specifically?

I think the editing was a bit messed up in Maureen Hansons talk. Will be interesting to see results of her latest work, she mentioned working with metabolon so hopefully they will be comparable with Ron Davis'results. Vicky Wittemores talk was encouraging but the proof will be if that upward...

Maybe the lack of NIH funding made him think it's worth the effort even if he thinks it might slow him down. Also, maybe a lot of his work was exploratory till now so not much to publish, but if they are focusing more on specific items it might lead itself to publishing.

To try to get more people on their site and to harness email addresses for their newsletter. (I guess)

I thought that was odd too. I did just enter some random text for my name and randomtext@randomtext.com for my email and it let me watch it. I am already on their mailing list anyway.

Just watched, good update, mainly focused on the nanoneedle. Seems like they have plans to do a lot more testing using this. Also notable he mentioned they would begin publishing soon.
