Good one! I haven't seen it. But I don't know if it would work for UK people. Would it? Do Brits know Lost in Space? Well, it wouldn't work for anyone under 60 maybe either!

was that the one with Bill Mumy before he was on Lost in space?

Well I have to say I'm taking somewhat of an international view here. And I prefer to put an optimistic spin on things when I can. In the UK, I would say things are still largely stuck at the establishment level, that's probably true. And I do get concerned in the UK that the IAPT/MUS movement...

And that claim was ridiculous, since she swapped the outcomes in a way that produced the better results.

I'm a bit perplexed by this. Even if research is done in short order, it takes time to analyze it, write it up and get it peer-reviewed and published. I mean, that could take well over a year, if not more. So how do they know any of this data will be ready in time for consideration? Or is this...

Ah, good point! I should have cc'd Professor Hotopf as well on this latest letter.

Yes, that's definitely part of the change. But US participation was low as well the first year I crowdfunded, two years ago, and that was before the CDC did that.

I also think in US this past week folks have been distracted by advocacy week and the NIH gathering. It's hard to focus on too much at once.

The small absolute numbers are always surprising to me, but this has been the pattern the two previous years. The US always lags behind UK. I agree with Jo's point here, and besides that the great majority of the blogs are about the bad UK research (with nods to bad research in Netherlands...

that's great, thank you!

Klimas has also started a Gulf War Illness clinical trial and is starting a parallel ME one as well based on various modeling strategies to determine possibilities given existing drugs.

First I'd heard.

I don't either.

I wondered this. It seems unlikely because the link between her talk and the studies under investigation would seem tenuous.

I wonder why this would be?

Ha, thanks!

I've also posted another post which is just the link and the text of the appeal itself. So people can send that if they feel it's more useful. I assume pretty much everyone coming to read about it on Virology Blog or coming to the crowdfunding site knows what's going on, but it's good to think...

So sorry to read this. that must have been very painful for you.

Yes I do think there are likely more than 27 Americans who would like to fund me. Especially because two of the current 27 have the same last name as me so as I said they don't really count, since their donations were required!

well I've been to Netherlands quite a few times and have recently been to Norway and Finland. This year I should try to visit Denmark and Sweden as well, and Germany, too. I mean, all I can really do is give a speech or two and meet with health officials or politicians and so on and report a bit...
