I will wait for Mike to do his changes. [2022-05-28 13:23:21] [Eddie Holmes] I've been over it a few times and have gotten it to the right length and it read well. Then someone else has a go and it stuff gets added again. Someone needs to say enough. [2022-05-28 13:25:10] [Eddie Holmes] Joel took control of the other paper which was fine apart from the blatant mis-positing of commas. [2022-05-28 13:48:49] [Robert Garry] Been there too - the stuff that gets added usually has been said somewhere else and said better. Or, it's unnecessary. Maybe @Kristian Andersen can put a lock on... [2022-05-28 14:05:49] [Kristian Andersen] It's in Mike's hands right now because stuff still had to be added in response to new analyses and the reviewers. Once he's done I'll go in and :scissors: - I'm not worried about length [2022-05-28 14:13:46] [Eddie Holmes] Trying to anticipate what Caroline wants is not the way to write the paper. Stick to what the science says. [2022-05-28 14:17:07] [Kristian Andersen] Agreed. Although she was _very_ specific about a few things we had to include, including the possibility of reverse zoonosis. [2022-05-28 14:41:10] [Robert Garry] Just need to land this plane...getting there. [2022-05-29 10:33:41] [Robert Garry] Under 4000 words - don't tell anyone.... [2022-05-29 11:12:52] [Andrew Rambaut] Yeah - been quietly cutting redundant words out here and there. [2022-05-29 11:20:32] [Robert Garry] Excellent work @Andrew Rambaut Heroic actually! :male_superhero: [2022-05-29 11:21:59] [Robert Garry] I'm pretty sure that the Science editors will remove a lot of colons, semi-colons and conjunctions... [2022-05-31 11:53:29] [Andrew Rambaut] Yeah right, sure [shared file(s): Image from iOS.jpg] [2022-05-31 11:55:50]
