1) 🔬 New funding opportunity for ME/CFS research! Solve is now accepting submissions for their Ramsay Research Grant Program!
Funding is between $50.000 - $150.000 depending on the category.
The deadline to apply is Friday, November 13, 2026.
The US government will give your startup up to $1.55M and take 0% equity.
@NSF's America's Seed Fund is open again after Congress reauthorized it in April.
Three tracks:

Who can apply:

How it works:
- Send a 3-page Project Pitch first
- NSF invites the best ones to submit a full proposal
- Next full proposal deadline: Nov 4
Phase I funding rates have run about 10 to 20%. It's work, but nobody takes your cap table.

Interesting long Covid research where all participants satisfy ME/CFS criteria

@JeffreyBrandes Would you build a house by ordering materials and then hiring a design/build co to draw the plans? Nobody would. Passing Amd. 3 without modeling the consequences and costs first is equivalent.
@JeffreyBrandes But how MUCH debt relief will be needed? Nobody knows. You propose a $1B transition fund. From where did you pull that number? Is it a guess? Amd. 3 is DOGE 2.0, and it may likewise have costly unintended consequences.
@JeffreyBrandes This is an important point you’re making. The next and obvious question is, how many small, rural cities and towns will default on their municipal bonds because of amendment 3? Has anyone done this analysis?
@USATODAY There is a reason that legacy media had editors and editorial boards. It was to prevent extremely bad takes like this from seeing the light of day.
Sharing for those here in the Bay: @ChronicleBioAI is looking for ME/CFS patients to enroll in their biobank study who are able to give a blood sample at their Menlo Park lab. They are currently looking at specific biomarkers and immune cells.

@singh_mona71@DrMichaelScoma Sorry, here’s the link. I went to refill mine last night and they are on backorder. Frustrating. There’s another company out there that looks to be counterfeit, they have mishmash language from different types of supplements that are not correct.

@singh_mona71@DrMichaelScoma Direct from the company. My Dr had a good discount code. I take 2 capsules in the morning and one in the afternoon. It keeps me mentally sharp longer at work.
@sadfoxqueen Erica have you tried vagal nerve stimulation for pain? My doctor recommended a device called Pulsetto. It is very strange, but also effective. It stimulates the carotids on your neck.
