Nail on head. All those decades in existence, but the MEA currently looks amateurish. The chair seems to have contributed quite a lot to that...
It wouldn't need to be super careful about comms if it actually understood the issues. Homeless charities don't have to take care not to publish...
Honest question (I don't know the answer): would that matter in every study? I've variously shared houses and worked closely with people with...
Thanks for that, I hadn't been able to see the questions because I'm not an X member.
That's the one thing that needs saying. A consensus might be easier to achieve if it states that, at minimum, delayed-onset PEM is required for a...
When it comes to infections, would it be more accurate to say ME/CFS is 'associated with' rather than 'triggered by' infection? There appears to...

They could. But it's not an easy course, either for the individuals personally or for the organisation. You have to be sure you have a plan in...
It doesn't mean he'd be out of the organisation, though. If Charles himself wants to continue, and trustees and staff do too (which seems likely,...
If you want a section on challenges to the BPS ideology, Brian Hughes' The Science Bit is a good place to look. The site also has some interesting...
There's usually some detail on the fundraiser, though it's often only a name—"matched by the Such-and-Such Foundation". It's probably possible to...
Exciting! It's good to see a team being really inventive and squeezing maximum value from small pots of money.
They might review it and decide no action is necessary. But if the trustees are concerned about recent events, they might see it as an...
Thanks so much, that's really helpful!
