My personal response to this questionnaire is that it makes me feel sick too. Patronising, lacking in awareness/insight/empathy. As mentioned above by Adrian, would make more sense if administered after recovery rather than while ill, if at all. But to someone who is terribly chronically ill...

Hah, yes! She will put on that furrow-browed I'm-such-a-martyr face she does, and recount how even TEDx has now fallen to those evul activists who have dedicated their lives to trying to stop her world-leading research! (And, trot out 'that' slide yet again and how they threatened to cut off...

Reading that document, it looks like Esther fails pretty much everything under Guideline 4: Only Good Science. So then I wondered what one could do as respects notifying TEDx in such a case. Reading further, there was this paragraph at the end of Guideline 4: Re my bolded bit: Remember how...

As well as the self-delusional aspects of her talk, there is also her speaker bio page at the TEDx website which claims that Esther's "research is world leading." https://tedxbristol.com/about/person/esther_crawley . I take it that TEDx doesn't verify what their speakers claim about themselves...

Thank you! It wouldn't play in my browser (Firefox), got a Format Not Supported error message, but I downloaded it with the Firefox add-on Video Download Helper, and it's actually the full video, not just an audio recording! It's pixellated, but watchable enough to see Esther's performance...

I understand what you're saying. I went off looking for a tweet I'd read a few days back in which Mat Gill, the Sunday Times artist, had said he wasn't happy about his artwork being used in this way, but couldn't find it. But I see Cheshire has now posted a tweet above that says similar...

Someone please correct me if wrong, but from what I've seen, what she's claiming was an email to herself was actually a mock-up of a phone call to Simon Wessely and was created by an artist at the Sunday Times:

I tried going back to get the exact wording, but her talk seems to have been removed from the video and been replaced by a series of random slides with quotes from various famous people. ??? ETA: Oh, I see Cheshire above me has been able to get the wording, thank you! Don't know what happened...

Forced myself to watch it and, ugh, it was hard to sit through. The oh-so-concerned face, the breathy little voice. Lying again about the Sunday Times mock-up being an email she herself received, and again joking how silly it was that the sender threatened to cut her b***s off. A martyr to...
