Shouldn’t we also be stressing non-healthy controls who don’t have ME, to see if the response is unique to those with ME or simply a response that...
Reuters has a big reach, so I’d expect it’ll be syndicated all over the place. I do often wonder what a ‘normal’ person thinks when they read an...

Really interesting piece from Science magazine. Very much worth your time to read. Basically, a researcher made up whole trials, his co-authors...
