Oh, are you talking about parameters that we might use to determine whether we would pause the research in place --

In context

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

    Describe the limitation you're referring to.
  2. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    We'll get that document. But did you DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com ever, basically what logs you had to report and immediately stop work?
  3. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    Say that again.
  4. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open

    And I think they did. But, you know, I think -- and that's a question that we have is, is it appropriate or not. It sounds like NIH didn't even keep documents of those interactions.
  9. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    I think that's probably a misstatement on your part.
