Tony's quote is great. He really didn't say much at all and I don't remember any specific questions from him. Francis said even less (Francis was at some sort of party). Jeremy said a few things, but mostly just by way of organization.It was mostly a round robin of the other scientists - starting with Kristian. I talked about the FCS [noting FCSs had been inserted before] and the O-linked glycans, which even at that early date didn't seem engineered. Decidedly amixed set of facts that could swing in a number of different directions with more data. Ron and Marion in particular were pretty outspoken that it had to be natural.

In context

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

He didn't ask many questions because he spent all his time telling us what to think

Haha, that's right. I guess maybe this is my chance to cash in if I flip.... Hmmm - sorry guys, I'll have to throw you under the bus too. :man-shrugging::moneybag:

No worries. I'm just surprised we've not yet been blamed for the invasion of Ukraine

Oh, I'm sure we'll hear about that shortly. I'll ping my DRASTIC friends.

That's my best recollection. Tony said VERY little - Francis even less, if anything. They truly were there to listen.

Sounds accurate to me
