IiMER International Conference Week London 2019

I emailed them a few times. They have now decided to forego DVDs this year and make presentations available afterwards..they will have edits to make so cannot commit to a definite time line for when presentations will be available. I haven't been on their website.

 

Agenda for Thinking The Future (Young/Early Career Researchers for ME)
http://www.investinme.org/thinkingthefutureagenda2019.shtml

 

I have heard Julia Newton (Newcastle) and Jo Cambridge with Fane Mensah give presentations in recent years. Chris Ponting was in the audience last year. Karl Morten says he has been for the last 3 years. Dr Bansal has also presented.

I think these days some of the researchers go to the Colloqium, but not necessarily the public day, unless they are presenting.

It certainly is a day when you come across loads of people you have heard about/read their papers.

 

I spoke to Luis Nacul there last year.

 

I assume that there is no livestream of the conference?

Also if anyone from here is going to the conference, would really appreciate it if anyone could ask Dr. Fluge when he anticipates submitting the cyclophosphamide manuscript for review (or maybe it is under review?).

Thank you.

 

Cyclophosphamide paper was supposed to be published in late 2017...its a long wait

My, it's almost as if Michael Sharpe and Simon Wessely are manipulative liars and researchers are not being chased out of the field. How odd. They must be very confused about things.

Well, actually they kind of are chased out so in truth this is happening despite coordinated obstruction.

It's slow but it's hard to deny that there is progress under way in rebuilding the research capacity that was destroyed by the invention of CFS. As long as we can prevent acts of sabotage aimed at defunding research we should see continuous increase and eventually an end to the current lethal and ruinous psychosocial paradigm. Fortunately we avoid much of it thanks to private funding.

It will eventually be seen as an exciting field in which there is the capacity for the kind of once-in-a-lifetime major breakthrough that can change millions of lives. Genuine frontier medicine.

 

Merged thread

If anyone has time, energy or brain cells, there was a twitter feed from the Invest in ME conference in London. No summary available yet, but Ros Vallings has been doing one and is there now. If interested check the ANZMES website, as it will be posted there as soon as possible.
