  9. An important change from local to remote biomedical research
    youtu.be/KeGlH3oEjTM?si=0YUM-U

    "Here's a brief update on my recent shift from traditional clinical trials to remote clinical trials in which individuals can participate from anywhere in the United States. I already have an ongoing remote trial for Gulf War Illness and hope to expand to fibromyalgia, Long-COVID, and ME/CFS. This remote approach is not common, but is being embraced by an increasing number of labs. I am excited that this change will give people the opportunity to participate who never could before." - Jarred Younger
