at least in US we never had to cope with things like marmite and Vegemite. Yuck! (sorry to fans!)

I really wish I could work on this full-time since I basically work on it 3/4 or 80 percent time at this point. I'm not sure how to expand the base. Each of the past two years I've gotten about 1000 donations. Considering the number of people who have read my work, it's not really that many. As...

Ha! Yes, sorry. In US health care everyone knows what KP is. It's a huge system--mostly in California and Northwest but also in few other places. So these statements should be noticed by Mayo Clinic and other big medical organizations.

could be. I'll look. Another issue is I haven't really written many "articles" per se in the last year. The initial 2015 series was long but a self-contained narrative and understandable if someone slogged through it. What I've mostly written more lately are like updates on ongoing situations...

I'll check this out. Journalism contests are usually judged by outside panels. but most of those who judge these things are unlikely to see the value in what I've been doing unfortunately.

I've asked about the PayPal thing a couple of times. For whatever reason, they're not set up to do it. I don't know the ins and outs of what that would entail. Of course it sucks if people want to give but can't figure it out. People can send paper checks to Berkeley but that doesn't makes much...

Wow, Alvin--good memory! That was a one-time thing that I don't expect again. but you never know!

It has already slowed down! yes, it will go through ups and downs and at some points stall. Then something will trigger something and it will pick up. I will not likely have another 24 hours like the first.

A version of the KP interview with Steve Olson has now been posted on BerkeleyWellness.com: http://www.berkeleywellness.com/healthy-community/health-care-policy/article/reeducating-doctors-about-mecfs this will hopefully help spread the information that things are changing. Of course KP will...

yes I do happen to know those people with that last name. I will let them know, thanks!

Thanks everyone for your support! And for reassuring me not to feel bad about raising funds this way!

I think there's a place for comments, isn't there? I've tried to make suggestions to the Berkeley platform folks but it's hard because really they're optimizing it for projects that mostly have more to do with stuff happening on campus. My effort is a bit unusual among the group.

the problem was people making up fake names that were actually quite funny but could be perceived as offensive by the parties being teased. But it also complicated Berkeley's effort to keep track of who was donating.

yes it's started. I really dislike having to raise money this way but, well, there it is...not much choice.

Sharpe is behaving like he's in kindergarten.

I'll be curious. Since the quote tracks with what she has said before, it would surprise me if she said anything much different. The idea that anyone "misunderstood" or was "confused" about the CDC's message is just silly. Does she really think people actually buy that line of argument?

What is the i newspaper anyway?

that's a good catch.

Terrific reply.

I didn't but I don't think you need to see anything other than Paul's tweet to know that it was not abusive or threatening or anything of the kind. Edit: But I'm not sure I understand what you mean by the whole original tweets. You mean, did I know Paul was responding to a tweet of Sharpe's? Yes.
