Now is the time to fund someone to go to the 2015 hair loss congress.

bump!

I spoke too soon. Not sure I can contribute $200 but will contribute at least $100.

a) We need to know what this will cost

b) we need to know who will contribute and how much.

I think the most important thing is the video of the presentations, so each person can watch it individually. We should send someone who is willing to view as many presentations as possible and give each a fair chance (idm if they spend extra time at presentations they want, thats their right and I would do the same just as long as it is not an absurd bias).

Desmond did a great job last year, but when I watched some video, in particular Cotsarelis presentation on MPB, I got a lot more info/foreshadowing by Cotsarelis out of it than what was summarised on the forum. This is why video/audio is important, so each member gets a look.

Hellouser can do videos and he can also do interviews and try to get information about the SM04554 patent. And for the record, if Hellouser comes back with the SM04554 patent then you will real quickly change your tune and say that information may be more important than videos.

WTF? Because I recognize and call out the inequality of mens health and misandry DOES NOT mean i 'hate women for getting attention'. It's men doing this too.... typically fullheads.

Hellouser, just ignore the unintelligent haters. If you come back from the Congress with useful information these same haters will be eating out of your hand. Don't listen to what dumb people say.

I will chip in $200 towards your trip. Others will chip in too.

Will you please start focusing on getting things organized because you should go in as a press-person the same as Desmond did? You should start getting this organized. You should be getting the correct passes and you should be contacting the companies and researchers involved with the most promising treatments, especially the company behind SM04554 and Shiseido. When you contact the company involved with SM04554 you would want to interview the lead contract researcher (Wilma Bergfeld) AND a permanent company official as well. These interviews can be set-up in advance. Wilma Bergfeld will be there for certain and I'm sure the company will have a company spokesperson there as well.

how about Desmond??

he did a great job last year.

could he go to the congress this year too?

or maybe they could go togheter, it would not be a problem for the whole suffers community (not only this forum) to rise 10,000 instead of 5,000 (just putting random numbers)

Desmond might not be willing to pursue an agenda of trying to isolate the exact patent for SM04554. He seems kind of straight-laced. We need someone who's smart and resourceful like Desmond but who wants out of hair loss bad enough that he would be willing to go there with the agenda of securing some specific information. Hellouser's our man. If we all get on the same page I will chip in $200.

Hellouser needs to get organized as a press-person the same way as Desmond did.

Someone claims he's posted the patent to SM04554. I'm not sure that he's correct. It would be nice if Hellouser could come back with knowledge about the SM04554 patent. BTW even if the person has posted the correct patent it appears that there are multiple compounds in the patent so we need to isolate which of the compounds is SM04554. If Hellouser went to the Congress as a press-person he might be able to secure this information.

No need to get angry my friend! We are on the same boat.
I honestly hope you can make it to the congress and believe you will add as much value to the forum as Desmond did last year.
If you decide to travel to Miami, or any other members of btt can make it I'll offer to pay the firsts round of drinks (hopefully to celebrate good news and a future full of hair)

If you're going to be there, just live stream it through Periscope. No need to pay for someone to fly in if there's someone already on the ground who can attend.

We need someone who will ask the right questions. We want someone in there with a press-pass so he can interview the staff of the drug companies. In particular, we want someone to interview the staff involved with SM04554 because there are multiple (3) different compounds in their Wnt patent and we need to figure out which compound is SM04554. If we can get the recipe for SM04554 we can get it shortly after the Congress. The alternative is to wait about 3 years.

I support hellouse for this and since I live 5 minutes aways from the congress I can also help with the logistics

[hellouser]

Hellouser should be knowledgeable enough for this, but buddy you need to change a bit that attitude if you want to get some answers.
Telling researchers about how injustice is baldness or how much you hate women for getting more attention than men won't help

I'm going for sure my friend, but I think the forum will really benefit from having someone with a much deeper knowledge in the room.

Maybe you and Hellouser could go together. Hellouser's shrewd and he's imaginative plus he has a lot of knowledge about hair loss and the research that you two would be looking into. He's inventive enough to come up with a way to get the company behind SM04554 to state which patent is the SM04554 patent. We NEED that information.
