Indicators. So um it was interesting actually preparing for this talk. I was aware of this. Um There is a fantastic, you, you know, you get these academic sort of summary um articles in the B MJ um educational articles and there's a really good one that's been written by Mark Cotter and Benjamin Davis names you will hear me mention again during this talk who've set up this phenomenal website, which I'm gonna mention as well. And I think if you're gonna read about de degenerative myelopathy beyond this, that is really that article has got pretty much everything you need to know and some it's, and it's, it's relatively recent and it's very up to date. Nice piece, very patient centered and very educational as many of those articles are. So I I'd stick that reference in first. And the other thing that Mark's Dunn, he's a, he's a Mister Cotter. He's one of the, you may, some of you may know him. He's one of the newer spinal neurosurgeons in Cambridge. He's a trainee there for a while and did a fellowship with someone called Michael Failings in Toronto. So he's got this very keen academic neurosurgical trainee called Ben Davis. And they've set this website up which is mainly funded uh by patients and all sorts of things when they've got trustees. But it's actually an incredible resource of just about everything clinically. You'd ever want to know about myelopathy and it's straightforward because it's myelopathy.org and they arrange events and all sorts, that's mark just there on the right of that picture. I think we, we can, we can see your powerpoint that you've got, we can see sort of the powerpoint screen, not your slideshow. Oh Wow. Hang on a minute. So uh what's what can you see now, Ben? Can you see a slide with ama screenshot of a myelopathy.org? Um No, no, I've just got your sort of powerpoint screen with the slide in the middle and your list of slides down the side. Oh, well, what's happened? OK. Oh Fuck. Hang on a minute. So OK, I've come out now I'm gonna go back to the top. You can see me moving around now, I can see that. Yeah. So seemingly what's happening is I think is there you go. We slide through, you can see that moving around, can't you? Yeah. So I think when I go to it would be better if you could go. Yeah, full screen. I know. Yeah, because it looks a bit daft otherwise um can you see full screen now? No, we can just see the same as you had. This is gonna be a Google issue, isn't it? If you, if you go to slideshow? Yes, I'm on slide. Oh, are you on the slide? I was, I went to slide show. Um Yeah, I don't, I don't know. Did anyone else help? No. Hang on a minute. Ben, I'm gonna try. I'm really sorry guys. We are slightly.
