[Robert Garry] "Raises the possibility of wild rodent secondary reservoirs" may not be the type of conclusion you really wanted to see. [2021-03-19 09:03:00] [Kristian Andersen] Yeah - this has been something I have mentioned many times as a risk and it freaks the shit out of me. [2021-03-19 09:10:33] [Robert Garry] IT's actually a VERY important study on a lot of levels! Still getting my head around Erica taking the CEO job at LJI [she'll be great] and the Cell reviews. And Elsa did not make it on the plane to Kuwait- RT to Houston wasted (arrived back into NOLA at 2 am]. Speaking of wasted - my post-doc from Ukraine had to make an emerency trip back home - gifted me good bottle of Ukrainian vodka, which might improve my outlook if used properly. [2021-03-19 09:47:37] [Robert Garry] Recent WSJ article - plus a sufficiently high resolution photo of the scheme that FoodSaftyPeter held up - you can see actually read this one - sorta.

[2021-03-19 12:45:51] [Robert Garry] JB said RaTG13 data are "messy at best" https://twitter.com/K_G_Andersen/status/1346944025727619074 [2021-03-19 12:47:53] [Eddie Holmes] Perfect, thanks!

[2021-03-19 14:03:30] [Kristian Andersen] This guy is so good. https://twitter.com/acritschristoph/status/1372397220926869504?s=20 [2021-03-19 14:03:43] [Kristian Andersen] Ripping Jesse a new one for being an idiot. [2021-03-19 14:06:28] [Eddie Holmes] He's great!! Jesse was preaching about 'scientific content' and hasn't even bothered to look the data himself. [2021-03-19 14:08:06] [Kristian Andersen]
