Thanks - interesting agenda.

I'm looking for a (preferably) two-part (9 + 4.5 tog) duvet that's genuinely lightweight. I'm pretty debilitated and my muscles are wasted so trying to cope with my current ten-ton one is becoming a problem. If I search on 'lightweight duvet' on Amazon, say, it comes up with plenty but I don't...

Hadn't been aware of this: I believe this is 7pm UK time.

From yesterday's panel discussion, which included Ron Davis:

A four-day event started yesterday at Stanford, held in conjunction with the EBML (the very impressive-sounding European Molecular Biology Laboratory: 'Europe’s flagship laboratory for the life sciences – an intergovernmental organisation with more than 80 independent research groups covering...

It's my hope that the forums will become established as a place for researchers to visit and see their work being discussed. Perhaps Dr Segal might come along one day and join in. The forums will become more widely known soon and I hope that more researchers might join generally. I think...

From a promotional email from Jen Brea: Not only that – we are reinvesting proceeds from the sale of Unrest back into the Time For Unrest campaign. This will help support our efforts to bring the film to medical schools, policymakers, and research centers around the world. The more people see...

Actually, here's a far more relevant one: Personalized Nutrition by Prediction of Glycemic Responses Highlights High interpersonal variability in post-meal glucose observed in an 800-person cohort Using personal and microbiome features enables accurate glucose response prediction Prediction...

Abstract of a recent paper on which he's co-author (I haven't done a thorough search): Bread Affects Clinical Parameters and Induces Gut Microbiome-Associated Personal Glycemic Responses. Korem T1, Zeevi D1, Zmora N2, Weissbrod O1, Bar N1, Lotan-Pompan M1, Avnit-Sagi T1, Kosower N1, Malka G1...

I think that's what the book is about, @Trish - how to do that. Here's the blurb from Amazon: There are certain things we take as universal truths when it comes to dieting and health: kale is good; ice cream is bad. Until now. When Dr Segal and Dr Elinav published their ground-breaking...

I don't know how to make a judgement on it. Whether the number is too small or is adequate will depend on all sorts of things (the number of variables being measured, the strength of the underlying correlations, etc.). The proof will be in the resulting model's predictive power, I suppose...

I thought it was superb. I agree about the science, especially as the science is in such flux at the moment. Best just to focus on how incredibly shit this disease is, and the serious problems with how patients have been treated. Incredibly brave and generous of Jen and Omar to show themselves...

The book, which is called 'The Personalized Diet: The revolutionary plan to help you lose weight, prevent disease and feel incredible', is coming out on 26 December. In Israel, people can get analysed for free as part of the research, if I've understood that correctly...

Worth having individual threads for the five teams receiving Solve's Ramsay Awards, I think - Eran Segal is new to ME/CFS (I think) and very interesting (see this other thread). Details of his project here: http://solvecfs.org/2017-ramsay-award-program-team-5/ which concludes (broken up for...

Fascinating TEDx talk here by Eran Segal, who has just received a Ramsay Award grant from Solve ME/CFS.

This is what I get at that first link. Bit cryptic!
