Hardwired to router but video keeps cutting out and screen blurring. Is it me or them?

Not really seen much of anything on Twitter apart from this from Todd Davenport from Workwell,

"If I hear another researcher claim the six-minute walk test is a valid test of cardiorespiratory function in people living with PEM, I am going to scream loudly enough that you are going to hear it no matter how far apart we live. C'mon, NIH group. You're killing me."

 
Lipkin described 3 projects he would like funding.

Jessica Maya from Maureen Hansen’s group talked a tiny bit more on PD-1 blockade drugs and viral persistence.

Nath had slide with ‘cognitive therapy’ for brain fog treatment.

Karl Johan Tronstad and David Systrom very good especially for new into field researchers. Tronstad linked to WASF3. Systrom gave a little more on the design of the LIFT study.

Panel about to start

Michelle James (Stanford) just said they were doing TSPO-PET/MRI imaging of the whole body, not just the brain, and found increased signals in muscle of (female but not male) ME/CFS patients compared to controls. Small sample size though, I think only 6 pairs.

They are also look into GPR84 as a more specific & sensitive biomarker than TSPO.

EDIT: here's an example of what was shown:

I don't know what those pictures mean, but the musculature comparison does look odd. Be interesting to see the comparisons with a different protein.
