    There was an attached file (MS Word format, .docx) with phone numbers which I have converted to a PDF file and uploaded. For some reason I had trouble uploading the original file.

    A little bump for this - I think it's on in 30 minutes. Anyone going to listen?

    I listened but don't recall anything especially earth-shattering (but I have the concentration of a pingpong ball).

    Made it through about 45 minutes before my brain gave out. Lipkin emphasized he thinks this is many many diseases, making an analogy with cancer.

    One of these days, the NIH will stop calling it "chronic fatigue".

    Lipkin said there is a paper in the work, that he couldn’t discuss its content otherwise he wouldn’t be able to publish it.

    Are calls like this recorded and archived by the NIH? I seem to recall hearing one that way, but I may be mistaken.


    ETA:

    I answered my own question. It looks like a transcript and recording will eventually be posted at the link below. I'm not sure how long it takes, though it looks like it took a couple of weeks last time.

    In the teleconference, Dr. Lipkin said this:

    [From the NIH transcript]
    By "the findings that came out of UC San Diego" I assume he's referring to Dr. Naviaux's metabolomics study that resulted in this paper in 2016. Metabolic features of chronic fatigue syndrome
