[Eddie Holmes] Agreed! I pulled my name off. [2021-03-01 14:29:31] [Kristian Andersen] Holy crap. Especially love this paragraph [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-03-01 at 14.25.52.png] [2021-03-01 14:30:04] [Kristian Andersen] "... many of them early in their careers, who cobble together software and analytical tools in their own time to find essential answers" - Andrew, I assume that's you. Sorry, buddy. :face_with_rolling_eyes: [2021-03-01 14:30:33] [Eddie Holmes] It was really insulting to so many people!!! [2021-03-01 14:31:15] [Kristian Andersen] This part is just unbelievable - "The Twitter thread became a key source of information on the new variant, and E.B.H.'s Christmas break was lost to crunching further sequences and briefing journalists". I'm glad she thinks so highly of herself. I'm gonna give myself a prize too - I'm going to call it The Kristian Prize. [2021-03-01 14:31:31] [Kristian Andersen] Of course - none of these people have sequenced anything.... [2021-03-01 14:31:43] [Kristian Andersen] (or shared data) [2021-03-01 14:31:55] [Eddie Holmes] The original version of the paper was fine. It then degenerated into this...I told them multiple times that the focus on Emma was completely inappropriate. [2021-03-01 14:31:56] [Andrew Rambaut] And she thinks her Christmas break was ruined - [2021-03-01 14:32:08] [Eddie Holmes] Exactly!! [2021-03-01 14:32:37] [Kristian Andersen] Well, at least she didn't die from COVID-19 or had to take care of patients with COVID-19, so there's a silver lining... Unreal. [2021-03-01 14:33:12] [Eddie Holmes] Would be quite good if you Tweeted this:stuck_out_tongue: [2021-03-01 14:33:16] [Kristian Andersen] "Christmas break was lost to crunching further sequences and briefing journalists".
