Scientists develop first ‘accurate blood test’ to detect chronic fatigue syndrome
Research could offer hope for ME patients – but some experts urge caution and say more studies needed Scientists say they have developed the world’s first blood test to diagnose myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

I’m sad to hear the news that the wonderful Jane Goodall is no longer in the world. Her work with chimpanzees at Gombe in Tanzania taught us to look at other apes - and ourselves - differently. I was privileged to meet her later in life and tell her what an inspiration she was to me.

But it is super competitive either way, and often they may already have candidates (their own graduates) in mind. I have applied for postdocs that I thought were a PERFERCT fit for my experience and area of study, and not even got an interview. If I can ever help, please feel free to message me.

This is so tough. I ended up self-funding my PhD so I could do the project I chose. And I did it part time whilst working full time. It was really hard. There are things you can do to make yourself stand out a bit more, like having a load of different CVs, each with a different emphasis.
