Whitney Dafoe Updates

Joshua Leisk spoke at the community symposium for OMF so to say there isn’t influence or separation is wrong. This is directly effecting OMF. I cannot remember but I believe Rengade Research has had lightning talks? Can anyone find that?




That's not an OMF symposium.
There is no OMF logo on the agenda.

That is run by Stanford alone, has been since the pandemic (2019) I believe. Only the in-person conference they used to do was OMF. It changed to an online only meeting.
 
If you guys can find anything supporting Leisk from the OMF social media then that's a different story but I do not believe OMF have anything to do with Leisk.

Leisk has a relationship with Ron, Janet and Whitney. I don't even think Ron and Joshua collaborate on a research project. If they did, I don't think it would be OMF funded. But you could ask them?

Just to clarify, I have research projects that aren't OMF-funded. There are projects OMF don't want to fund that I do and same goes for all the other centers/hubs.

Thank you for pointing that out. Very confusing since OMF have sponsored this symposium in the past I can find 2017&2018:



They also advertised this years that contained the borne free lecture:


Ron is the scientific lead of OMF advisory board.

I can edit my posts to reflect that this years was in fact not sponsored by OMF. It’s hard to disentangle the two.

I agree with you, it can be confusing

Yeah OMF supported for a couple years when it was an in person conference in 2017 and 2018. It's now an online working meeting and it is entirely different. OMF never supported the working meeting.

OMF promote every conference on ME throughout the year, including the Stanford one. In fact OMF support the UK and Portugal conference I think. Whenever you see OMF logo on the conference website or agenda then you know OMF helped to make it happen.

Yes Ron is the Chair of the SAB for OMF. That is the connection.
