Esther Crawley - Uni of Exeter 17th Nov Mood Disorders seminar

Perhaps she will view this as an opportunity to correct certain unfortunate impressions which have arisen after her last two presentations.

One would expect that someone who might appear in court as an expert witness would wish to take the first opportunity of setting the record straight.

She is not actually a psychiatrist her first papers were on things like leukemia, IL-10 in RA/Lupus.

Which I think means she should know better and should understand her methodology is poor.

But I like the idea of someone giving a presentation as an edgy beat poem. Or perhaps as a more modern version should she do the talk as a rap.
 
Her talk now has a title:
Professor Esther Crawley (University of Bristol) - What is new in paediatric Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Myalgic Encephalopathy (ME) research

No doubt it'll be about her groundbreaking SMILE trial(?)

people on twitter/FB please watch for any related posts 12:00 to 1:00pm tomorrow.

eta: interesting that's she's using the encephalopathy rather than encephalomyelitis (maybe she finds it easier to say/remember?), and that she splits CFS from ME(?)
 
From me-pedia http://me-pedia.org/wiki/Esther_Crawley:

"SMILE was a pilot trial on children with ME/CFS and involved comparing the effects of standard medical treatment (SMC) against that of the Lightning Process & SMC.[4] The initial budget was £164,000 funded by the Linbury Trust and the Ashden Trust.[5]

Children aged 12 to 18 were drawn from the Bristol & Bath areas, with those too unwell to attend hospital appointments excluded. The charity Association of Young People with ME (AYME) was a participant in the trial[6] and gave evidence in support during the trial ethics procedure.

A Freedom of Information request asking for the cost of the trial and payments to Phil Parker were turned down as they university states the "information is held by the University but is exempt from disclosure under section 22(1) of the Freedom of Information Act as it is information intended for future publication"

Any information on this FOI?
