It was a delight speaking to @davetuller1.bsky.social about our recent paper lead by @simonmcg.bsky.social with @charliehillier.bsky.social, @tschei.bsky.social, Joshua Dibble and Arild Angelsen. We discuss why this is solid evidence for two age peaks in ME/CFS onset and the biological implications.

A great interview with Dr Audrey Ryback about the recent finding of two consistent age peaks in many European countries for the onset of ME/CFS. Follow-up work using the @actionforme.bsky.social Big Survey data hopes to give insight into early vs late onset differences @aryback.bsky.social.

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth. Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

Wow. 8 years this paper has been out shining a clear, well-written light on the dodgy science done in the PACE trial. It still hasn’t been retracted. People like me with ME/CFS in Australia are still denied disability support cause we won’t do GET, and so “haven’t tried everything to get better.”

8-year anniversary of reanalysis paper on recovery in £5m #PACEtrial, with data the PACE team fought so hard to keep to themselves. Shows recovery rates in all trial arms were low, using the criteria the PIs promised in their own protocol tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #MEcfs #CFS
