Slack / Private Message Drop — page 315

[2020-12-14 16:24:56] [Eddie Holmes] That's just between Andrew and I and because it does not discuss the paper per se I think I don't have to include it. [2020-12-14 16:26:01] [Kristian Andersen] Hahaha, can't WAIT to see those emails on the internet - and it's fair - it shows that we too think he's an arse. [2020-12-14 16:26:02] [Andrew Rambaut] Also discuss personal medical history of a person. [2020-12-14 16:26:25] [Kristian Andersen] Ohhhh - HIPAA [2020-12-14 16:29:16] [Eddie Holmes] Yes, no way the lawyers will allow those to go up. I not quite sure how I'm going to explain it all them though.? [2020-12-14 16:29:51] [Andrew Rambaut] Out of interest what is the situation with Slack? Presumably that is private communication? [2020-12-14 16:30:12] [Eddie Holmes] Great quote for Bob which we should definitely put out "I think the approach for the paper should be totally agnostic." Slack is private. [2020-12-14 16:44:42] [Kristian Andersen] Oh boy. :clown_face: [2020-12-14 16:51:31] [Eddie Holmes] Aside from the crudity, what the emails show I think is that we took lab escape very seriously and that we genuinely worried about it. They do show that Jeremy was involved though and I can see that causing a stir....but there's zero smoking guns. Absolutely nothing. [2020-12-14 16:52:48] [Kristian Andersen] I'm pretty sure we'll come out better by people seeing those emails - it should be clear that this is a thorough investigation. [2020-12-14 16:55:42] [Kristian Andersen] Eddie, what's the language in the FOIA request? Can they even request this - I mean, US organization and you're in Australia [2020-12-14 17:02:19] [Kristian Andersen] Okie dokie - all good. Reading through our old emails, it's all good stuff + terrible jokes - I'm totally ok with that :wink: [2020-12-14 17:09:20] [Eddie Holmes]
