[2020-07-30 19:50:51] [Kristian Andersen] Agreed - and you did the right thing here. It's good that she gets some pushback too - you can just say shit about people on Twitter.... If you're trying to be a respected scientist that is. [2020-07-30 19:53:08] [Eddie Holmes] Totally. [2020-07-31 02:33:13] [Eddie Holmes] Listen to lighten the mood, here's something very Australian - "rootgate" [2020-07-31 02:33:32] [Eddie Holmes] https://www.betootaadvocate.com/breaking-news/i-know-you-dont-wanna-hear-this-but-gotdam-it-was-worth-it-says -melbourne-security-guard/ [2020-07-31 05:26:53] [Andrew Rambaut] [thread - ID: 2020-07-30 09:44:58] @Kristian Andersen We think it may have been pushed back with a note to go to MedRxiv but can't see because Erik Volz is lead and he is on leave. Annoying if so because we chose BioRxiv because that is where all the other D614G papers went. [2020-07-31 05:26:59] [Robert Garry] Thanks for the article Eddie - made my day! [2020-07-31 08:52:55] [Kristian Andersen] A total nothing-burger email from Clare. I don't think this is the appropriate action from Nature so I suggest writing back to her saying that we would like a little more to be done here, including contacting the reviewers to better understand the breach. I'd cc Skip this time. [shared file(s): RE: Breach of reviewer confidentiality - leaked to journalist] [2020-07-31 09:27:38] [Andrew Rambaut] I am not that surprised - there is not much she could do other than give a warning the reviewers (and she doesn't know for sure which one it is). I think it is just good that she knows about this in case DT tries to contact Nature to make a complaint or something (unlikely as that would remove his anonymity). [2020-07-31 09:31:37] [Andrew Rambaut] I suggest just replying and saying thanks we just wanted to her to know that there was someone trying to cause grief in case she got embroiled in it. I can't see any benefit in demanding anything from Nature - we don't want them to be upset with us. [2020-07-31 09:44:26] [Andrew Rambaut] [thread - ID: 2020-07-30 09:44:58] @Kristian Andersen Are you able to do anything? Or do we just press the transfer to MedRxiv button?
