Yup. They could just have gone for a robin like everybody else, because it's impossible to represent a whole community with an image of one...
I think she was executive producer or similar? If someone in that role really wanted to challenge the casting they could, especially when it's...
I don't really! :D But as well as the potential for progress on intractable chronic illnesses, there's a big economic incentive. The history of...
I'm not sure she's really explained why she apparently cast a non-amputee in the Strike role in the TV series a few years back. Almost as if there...
That's not a huge amount for research. Especially when you consider it'll be possible to use some of the anonymised data for many years to come,...
Maybe we need a PROM. :D Not the one the MEA was involved in; one that asks people newly referred to services to give a snapshot of their lives...
It sounds like a really exciting project. Let's hope they can raise the funding!
I don't think it was a big factor, but feeling a bit nervy for the first half hour would probably use up more capacity than usual. Most of the...
I agree with the sentiment, but it's nothing to do with the name. It's because the people commissioning the services don't want to change...
I'm sure no one will need to tinker round the statistical edges when a treatment's found that actually works. In a real remission, everything's...
I've never seen one in 48 years!

Those resources can sometimes be mobilised in the care of very frail elderly people and babies. It doesn't always happen, and they may die or be...
Is it likely there's a relationship between cortisol levels and the adrenaline response that leaves some pwME/CFS entirely unable to sleep...
I suspect so. Specially as the research seems to have been on diseases like Parkinson's and the dementias, which cause irreparable damage to...
Oops. Sounds as if some people have got their fingers burnt and aren't happy. It seems to have been completely back-to-front: make a drug then...
There's also the apparent—and curious—link between motor neurone disease and very high levels of activity. MND may not be infection-associated,...
I've adopted the habit of writing ME/CFS first, but then shortening it to ME if I mention it again. I wouldn't do it in a formal paper, but...
At least they're not gnomic witch-finders, which is how my PEM brain read the sentence at the first attempt.
Separate names with a comma.
