WCHR 2014 Presentations (Community-funded)

[Desmond84]

So guys here we are at the frontier of research and development in tissue engineering and stem cell research. Non of this could have been done without the willpower of over 120 of our valuable members and enthusiasts

I am so proud to be representing you guys and I have no doubt this initiative will bring about a sea of change in the field of research never before imagined thanks to our advances in information technology and social networks. When I joined this community 2 years ago I never imagined I'd be ending up in Jeju Island reporting live from an International medical conference. We have come a long way indeed and I am more than honored to be representing such amazing boys and girls, men and women who have such an eager interest in science and technology. I am humbled beyond speech by all your good luck messages and well wishes.

Also, I'd like to send a big thank you to Hellouser and Arashi for not only helping out financially (and significantly I might add) but also their time into organising details of this trip. You guys are the gems of this community and will remain a very strong voice for many of us all around the world in years to come.

Now first things first, lets start with my first pic from Jeju Island



And another of its famous monuments



I managed to finalise my registration today at the international convention centre and got to have a chat with the organiser's committee board regarding video recording the presentations. They actually had no problem with it and even mentioned they would have loved to organise someone to do it! So that is one big hurdle out of the way

I also got the book with all the abstracts and I'll be posting them as the relevant days come up.

So this is my first post from Jeju Island and many more to come. Please try not to clutter this thread and keep the discussions on another thread. However, if it's something relevant to the talks that are posted feel free to ask any questions on this thread.

A big shout out to all my friends all around the world.

Peace...

Desmond

This is awesome, can't wait! Good luck Desmond.

[Arashi]

I don't want to clutter up the thread already, haha, but just want to mention how proud I am that we've managed to get this going and that for the first time in the history of this forum we now have our own reporter on the inside of the most important hair regeneration conference of the year ! If people would only come 1 time per year to this 'cutting edge/future treatments' part of the forum, this is the thread they should be reading

Thanks again for all you're doing for us Desmond and best of luck tomorrow !!

And thanks again to all that have contributed to make this possible !!

[Sixers]

I've been lurking these forums for maybe 2 years now . Amazing unified work here. All of you guys that contributed are greatly appreciated.

So i think the best talks to record tomorrow are as follows:

1) 11:30am - (PC1-5) Burning Scalp Syndrome: Pathophysiology & Management by Dr Gil Yasipovitch

2) 12:30pm - (LS1-2) Follicular Stem cells by Dr George Cotsarelis

3) 1:30pm - (LS1-3) Ageing characteristics of Hair & Scalp in east Asian females and hair growth promoting effects of Panax Ginseng by Dr Ohsang Kwon

That's the only interesting ones I could find that are on tomorrow. There'll be a lot of poster presentations as well. If I spot anything interesting I'll record it. I'll also try and convince some of the researchers to do interviews Fingers crossed.

OK guys. That's it from me. Gonna go to bed. Big day tomorrow.

Goodnight.

I spoke to Dr. Cotsarelis' administrator and sent her an email about a Desmond meeting up with him (this was last week). I'm going to try once more today and try to schedule something after the 1:30pm - (LS1-3) presentation just to make sure he doesnt miss out on any other presentations.

Also, to all, post your questions for Dr. Cotsarelis in THIS thread:

Great work Desmond!

Ok, just need to play devil’s advocate here, Desmond still has not provided us and those who have blindly contributed to his anonymous paypal account, any evidence that he’ attending the congress.

Desmond, please don’t take offense to this, but since you are uploading some beautiful images, (BTW, you might have missed your calling as a professional photographer, those pics can be sold as stock images) please take some pics of the following for us:

Images of your registration credentials(real name can be blocked out), also since you are taking pictures and have been given permission to take video, please have one photo taken in front on of one 2014 congress signs with you holding something that says, hello baldtruthtalk.com. You can crop your face out of it of course.

At the very least taking the last picture should be absolutely no problem if you are in fact attending the conference. If you are there, then great! I think it's fantastic that you’re going to be reporting back to the community, but please understand that at this point you have not really shown any good faith as far as providing evidence that you are actually attending. I’m sure that most reasonable people on this forum would agree.

I wish these posts impugning Desmond's character would cease.

Cant find any reverse image search on the first picture tho the second i can.

If you reverse google image search the second picture you can see it on google. The 2nd picture was NOT taken by Desmond. I can find records of the picture from 2009.

Desmond buddy you need to post proof you're there.

Edit: No idea if this link will work

ok you have to admit that's a little strange, why put a google pic up and claim it's yours?

Thank you for that torestto!
Back To Desmond, at his point he has shown no good faith that he is an actual person traveling to Korea to attend this congress as opposed to being troll taking advantage of everyone's vulnerability on this forum. If this anonymous person’s efforts are genuine, I think that’s fantastic, but to me, it just looks like an elaborate hoax. He can easily prove me wrong by providing the evidence requested. If Desmond is genuine then he should have no problem understanding why some of us are a little suspicious and provide us with all the evidence needed to make us feel comfortable with this. Any reasonable person would agree.

I was actually doing it to prove you wrong. I had a shit*y response planned for you and everything lol. It was a surprise when the second image came up.

Desmond can easily just time stamp a picture with a flight ticket ect to clear things up.

Edit: sorry thought you was J_B_Davis. Realised when I re read your quote.
