Physics Girl LIVE with long Covid

Dianna is Live streaming a day in her life as someone suffering from long COVID and ME/CFS. The purpose of the Livestream is to raise money and awareness for those suffering from the disease. All funds will be going to the Open Medicine Foundation (OMF), a non-profit research organization dedicated to finding effective treatments for ME/CFS. (https://www.omf.ngo/) The live stream will take place from 6:45 AM to 6PM. Pacific Time (PT). Hosts Kyle, Simone Giertz, and Ian Hecox will be answering your questions throughout the day. And we have scheduled pre-recorded interviews from experts in the field helping us better understand the disease as well. Dianna will not be talking during the Livestream, she will be in bed, mostly awake, but resting all day - as she does everyday. Viewers can learn from the interviews and discussions, hear the hosts answer your questions, and of course see Dianna. All donations can be made straight to the Open Medicine Foundation by hitting the donate button on this page. -- SCHEDULE -- ALL DAY - Dianna live streaming - Pre-recorded interviews from experts — - 8:30 AM - Dr. David Kaufman, an ME/CFS specialist.
