{{NeedsImage}} '''Maryann Spurgin''', Ph.D., is the founder of the [[ME Society of America]] (now archived; see below). She lives in Shreveport, Louisiana, US and has lived with [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]] (ME) since March 1982. She taught philosophy until she became too ill. She worked as a science writer and writer on medical politics for many years and also wrote on the science and politics of [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]] (ME) until 2017, having spent considerable time studying philosophy of science post-graduation.Β In addition to a Ph.D. in philosophy, in her 40s, she spent 6 years studying classics with a focus on ancient history. Maryann has a deep love of music, and she has spent her retirement working with vocal coaches studying voice, and has done some songwriting as well. == Blogs and articles == *1992, [https://philpapers.org/rec/SPUTOA The Ontological and Epistemological Quarrel Between Plato and Tragedy] Dissertation, The University of Texas at Austin (1992). *1995, The Role of Red Blood Cell Morphology in the Pathogenesis of ME/CFIDS.
