"I have lived as an ME/CFS 'spoonie' for the past 20 years after I got a virus and never recovered. I’ve spent much of the past 10 years of my career advocating for ME/CFS research at the NIH"

A white man in a respirator and a red shirt that says "Still sick, still fighting" sits in a manual wheelchair.

In his right hand he holds an oversized fork and in his left hand he holds an oversized spoon (props that refer to the protest sign).
