[Robert Garry] Looks good to me @Andrew Rambaut [2022-01-12 05:11:30] [Robert Garry] [thread - ID: 2022-01-12 01:51:16] @Eddie Holmes "Bob Garry, of the University of Texas" hmmm hook'em horns! [2022-01-12 05:13:36] [Robert Garry] [thread - ID: 2022-01-11 21:30:18] @Kristian Andersen Alina ridey - will keep stirring the pot to sell their crap book. [2022-01-12 05:47:31] [Robert Garry] One point about Alina's tweets saying we should retract PO1. IIRC - one of if not the major piece of advice we got on the teleconf and after was to not even mention Lab Leak. Fortunately we didn't take that advice. [2022-01-12 06:36:56] [Robert Garry] Dear Professor Garry, I'm Maia, an editor at The Intercept, and I'm reaching out with a question regarding the text of transcribed emails and notes released by the House Oversight Committee Republicans yesterday. Your comments from a February 1, 2020 conference call are included within the text, and I'm wondering if you would like to add any context or clarify how your thinking has changed since then. If you would like to speak with me, my schedule today is flexible! Please let me know, and thank you for your time, Maia Maia Hibbett Associate Politics Editor, The Intercept [2022-01-12 06:49:53] [Robert Garry] The Intercept has been awful... [2022-01-12 08:48:35] [Kristian Andersen] @Andrew Rambaut's email is great - if we respond to anything, let's basically just respond with that! I have pinned it to the channel. [2022-01-12 08:48:58] [Kristian Andersen] Such a waste of time - Bob, we have a grant to write... :wink: [2022-01-12 11:41:34] [Eddie Holmes] I also got the email from Le Monde. I was going to reply in a similar manner to Andrew but a bit more simply and directly. [2022-01-12 11:46:39] [Kristian Andersen] I got it too - I'm not going to respond (they got my auto reply...)
