[2020-10-26 14:37:22] [Kristian Andersen] Rebel :tada: https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/virus-rebel-professor-edward-holmes-named-nsw-scientist-of-the-year-20201 026-p568qj.html [2020-10-26 14:46:13] [Eddie Holmes] Jesus. Embarrassing. The pics were taken in the soil lab as mine is PC2 (and I do have a lab before you ask). Bob - love those feline viruses! Bloody great. [2020-10-26 15:04:40] [Andrew Rambaut] Love the random glassware. Surprised they didn't fill them with coloured liquids. [2020-10-26 15:09:11] [Kristian Andersen] Worth pointing out that glassware like that is used for (a) chemistry experiments and (b) bacterial culture. At least they don't have him holding a pipette upside down (and I'll point out that the glassware is pointing in the right direction too). [2020-10-26 15:10:47] [Andrew Rambaut] Can I tweet it? Would be good to get out the bit about pissing off the Chinese Authorities! But I don't want to wind up the tin foilers if it will make things worse. [2020-10-26 15:11:09] [Andrew Rambaut] I see it is already out there... [2020-10-26 15:12:24] [Kristian Andersen] Oli beat you to it - obviously. [2020-10-26 15:12:51] [Andrew Rambaut] And David Robertson. But not sure either of them are followed by the tin foil people [2020-10-26 15:13:04] [Kristian Andersen] David for sure is. [2020-10-26 15:13:31] [Kristian Andersen] Is that a huge bag of Renminbi next to him though? And does that flask say RaTG18? [2020-10-26 15:14:33] [Robert Garry] AWESOME! [2020-10-26 15:51:58] [Eddie Holmes] I really should have written RaTG18 on one of those flasks. Damn. Next time.
