I have not reviewed my emails from her back in 2020 or so, in a year or so.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    How would I know? How would I know the answer to that question?
  2. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    Did you have discussions with her in that time frame about the paper?
  3. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    We certainly shared the preprint of the paper for her to comment on. And it said clearly in the DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com paper that she sent us the sequences.
  4. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    No. So when there were these allegations in 2020, early 2020, that that virus could have started the pandemic, did she reach out to you, or did you reach out to her about those accusations?

    I have not reviewed my emails from her back in 2020 or so, in a year or so.
  6. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    So you communicate with her often, or did you?
  7. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    No. Not really. I mean, in reality, oftentimes my relationship with her is described as a long12 term collaborative effort. In fact, we've only published three papers together. One was the 2015 paper, one was 2017 or '18 or so, when we were both working with another collaborator, and I didn't realize she was collaborating with him as well until I saw a draft of the paper.

    That was Fang Li.
