[2020-06-07 15:31:08] [Eddie Holmes] I saw it last night and I couldn't believe he was doing it [2020-06-08 04:06:17] [Robert Garry] "Keep in mind that my numbers above represent a best guess in the absence of real data." Making shit up is not science. Seems like a plea to have reporters call him - get his name in the paper. If true, not good motivation. I don't know Trevor. I heard he had some skill, so this is really sad. [2020-06-08 06:52:23] [Kristian Andersen] Indeed Bob, indeed... Sadly though, the twitterati is once again praising this as "science in progress" - it is not, this has nothing to do with science. Extremely frustrating - plus my inbox is lit with questions about this, as well as some paper by some Norwegian dudes saying our conclusions are wrong... :zany_face: [2020-06-08 08:03:12] [Robert Garry] Gonna really have to take a look at this whole science by twitter thing. As for the NatMed paper attacks - you'll know you've actually made it when a bunch of "dudes" think they can make their careers by trashing you.

[2020-06-08 08:31:43] [Robert Garry] Seems the Forbes article has been yanked... [shared file(s): image.png] [2020-06-08 08:36:07] [Andrew Rambaut] It got yanked almost immediately after Eddie posted his tweet last night. [2020-06-08 08:36:16] [Andrew Rambaut] Such power [2020-06-08 08:36:50] [Robert Garry] Omega level mutant. [2020-06-08 08:46:11] [Robert Garry] The fact that Trevor's tweet storm and Nate's countertweet both landed immediately in the NYTimes is rather concerning at least to me. [2020-06-08 08:47:30] [Kristian Andersen] Link to NYT article? That is SUPER concerning.
