Yes. it is very long. I've been browsing and viewing what is of interest. Towards the end of the second day there is a "Summation Overview Review of 2-day conference " at about 295 mins. There is an agenda avialable at: http://oba.od.nih.gov/rdna_rac/rac_sham_con.html The slides from the conference are supposed to be made available from this page too... haven't said when Also a written report and/or article is expected to be published, but we don't know when. Recommendations will be made public and public comments will be sought by the NIH Linda www.pdpipeline.org ---------- Original Message ---------- From: kbachn <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: sham surgery conference Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:58:03 -0400 7 hrs long. many of us would appreciate the highlights/summary of findings.
