Sponsoring somebody to go to WCHR 2014

[Arashi]

So, WCHR 2014 is in two months. As Desmond noted, there will be some extremely interesting presentations: http://www.baldtruthtalk.com/showthread.php?t=15636 that should give us a good impression of how far the scientist really are at tackling hairloss. I'm afraid though that that conference will happen and we'll get to hear nothing. Remember that when Jahoda presented his breakthrough finding at WCHR 2013 last year, it was almost half a year later when the media started reporting about it (when Jahoda officially released his research results). So, it would be awesome to have some eyes and ears there !

Preferably this should be somebody who understands what they're talking about. Somebody like Desmond ! I think Desmond lives relatively close too (in Australia right ?) If Desmond is willing to go, I'd be happy to donate some money for his expenses and I think/hope others are too. If Desmond cant go, then we'd have to look for somebody else though. What do you guys think ? Desmond ? Any other volunteers ?

I totally agree with your idea

as a Korean I will gladly go to Incheon airport for the visitor

and help him transfer to go Jeju island

also I'll treat him some Korean food and guide him for travel Seoul if he want to haha

If it's Desmond it will be tremendous honor for me

Sadly now I have my university semester that it is hard for me to

visit the congress but anyway I promise I'll do my best to help him deliver

the cutting edge info of congress to the forum members

Yes, I nominate Arashi and Hellouser. They are the only ones I can trust, how much funds do you think will be needed.

I'm opting out, I'd rather have Desmond go, he'd understand what the presentations are about MUCH better than I would. Plus, I have a 9-5 job I cannot move away from unless I take vacation days to go.

Great idea, I'll be happy to contribute as well if Desmond or any Sr member is willing to go

[clarence]

I'm broke but... 50 eur, if Desmond goes...

I'll pitch in too if this person can summarize it in layman's terms when they get back. This actually would fit in my work schedule, as it is during my days off, but I probably would understand very little of it.

[hellouser]

I've got money to throw in to pay for a trip if Desmond does.

Desmond book that week off of work! Your goin to Korea budd!

You are the chosen one

Maybe we can arrange Desmond to stay with Dr Nigam to save some $$$ :P

Seriously though this goal could probably be reached if Desmond or someone else is up for it. Just looked up air fare for a return flight Korea <--> Australia, looks to be about $1-1.5k. I'm sure a couple grand would be enough to fund the trip.

You're wasting your time. I suggested someone attend on behalf of the forum last year when the meeting was in Edinburgh. It was not long after they'd started Bald Truth UK and I suggested Spex could go and report on it. I was totally ignored, my thread got derailed and turned into a discussion on whether or not Spex was a good guy. Weeks later when the conference was only days away Desmond suggested my idea and people listened - Spex even responded to him and said he couldn't as was out of the country.

People won't bother with this thread....forget it.
