Holy crap. Especially love this paragraph [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-03-01 at 14.25.52.png]

In context

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

    This is utterly awful: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00525-x How to insult just about everyone, not cite any work done previously.

    This part is just unbelievable - "The Twitter thread became a key source of information on the new variant, and E.B.H.'s Christmas break was lost to crunching further sequences and briefing journalists". I'm glad she thinks sohighly of herself. I'm gonna give myself a prize too - I'm going to call it The Kristian Prize.
