Yes. Have noticed that 'BGI' and 'EBI' share two letters and are both 3 letter words like CCP and CDC. Staring us inthe face!

Got contacted by a guy called Jon Gertner at NYT who is writing an article about the golden years of virus gen epi and the Oxford group - apparently he has talked to you Eddie. Is interested in all the conversations at the Turf.

I told him that all the virus phylogeny stuff started back with Walter Fitch and that we took it to new places over beer.I was sure to mention Harvey's name.

The Turf was always much nicer the Kings Arms.

The Turf Tavern is/was a great pub. Close to Zoology. I've not been there for years.

It even appears in Hardy's Jude the Obscure (apparently, I haven't read it).
