I'm pretty sure we'll come out better by people seeing those emails - it should be clear that this is a thorough investigation.

In context

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

Out of interest what is the situation with Slack? Presumably that is private communication?

Great quote for Bob which we should definitely put out "I think the approach for the paper should be totally agnostic."Slack is private.

Aside from the crudity, what the emails show I think is that we took lab escape very seriously and that we genuinely worried about it. They do show that Jeremy was involved though and I can see that causing a stir....but there's zero smoking guns. Absolutely nothing.

Eddie, what's the language in the FOIA request? Can they even request this - I mean, US organization and you're inAustralia

Okie dokie - all good. Reading through our old emails, it's all good stuff + terrible jokes - I'm totally ok with that :wink:

Yes, it's just shitty jokes. I can't see usrtk.org going much better than "Emails reveal proximal origins authors'lamentable use of puns".
