[2020-10-26 15:57:49] [Eddie Holmes] Wow, it's getting bigger than Watergate: [shared file(s): image (1).png] [2020-10-26 16:03:06] [Andrew Rambaut] Bonkers [2020-10-26 16:05:18] [Eddie Holmes] A perfect pictorial depiction of a conspiracy theory. [2020-10-26 16:07:01] [Andrew Rambaut] Officially it is called a 'wall of crazy': https://www.esquire.com/uk/culture/film/news/a7703/detective-show-crazy-walls/ [2020-10-26 16:10:57] [Eddie Holmes] Love it. [2020-10-27 09:25:38] [Robert Garry] Well - I don't think she should be shocked at all. [shared file(s): image.png] [2020-10-27 09:26:14] [Kristian Andersen] One additional proof that she's an idiot. [2020-10-27 09:26:36] [Kristian Andersen] I wonder if they mentioned the Broad Institute... I'm sure Lander would be happy about that. [2020-10-27 09:42:57] [Robert Garry] She keeps perpetuating the crap that nobody can assemble the genomes from the raw seq data. [2020-10-27 09:43:43] [Robert Garry] Just guessing, but I think Eric would not be happy. [2020-10-27 09:53:10] [Kristian Andersen] *She* may not be able to assemble the genomes because she has no idea what she's doing - however, other people (myself included) can. Easily. I even made the bam files publicly available for anybody to download. [2020-10-27 10:03:08] [Andrew Rambaut] It sounds like the Broad needs to do an intervention. Just discuss what she is trying to achieve from this. [2020-10-27 10:06:06] [Andrew Rambaut] Perhaps they could actually go through the data with her and give her the opportunity to try to persuade a few of them that know what they are doing. She won't be able to but perhaps they could bring her back from the brink, save her career (assuming they want to).
