I might ask Peter Doherty. Would be good to get a Nobel on board.

How many extra authors do we want? Only big hitters? Broad range of fields?
2021-06-28 15:01 Edward C. Holmes open

Not a huge number. People who will contribute. See other channel.

Yeah, agreed - let's get some big hitters / CoV folks, but other than that, keep it simple. Mike would be good so wehave some cross-fertilization.

I'm wondering if we should consider Pamela Bjorkman too - big name and she's not happy with her Science letter
