    Science for ME has been good at launching petitions. Can we make a petition that asks the EU to stop funding psychosomatic research of this kind?

    With enough signatures, the psychosomatic theorists will have a harder time to convince the EU commission to give them any more money. Maybe it will even result in a sudden stop of ongoing funding.

    On their website there's a short series of podcasts which the students on the project made on each of the six monthly occasions when they gathered together to be taught about how to diagnose functional somatic disorders and tell each other about their research. I listened to a couple. They come across as eager young students keen to learn and do good research and naively parroting all the stuff they've been told by the likes of Carson, Stone, Burton, Rossmalen et al. who are their supervisors.

    Somehow academia never strikes me as very welcoming of critical thinking. At least not these fields.
