[2021-06-25 15:16:31] [Eddie Holmes] Yes, that's my inclination. Hopefully people will just shit on it quickly. [2021-06-25 15:18:43] [Andrew Rambaut] Yeah. Nick will destroy it with a quick look at the BAM file and a tweet [2021-06-25 15:19:30] [Kristian Andersen] Will he delete the BAM file then? Because... you know. [2021-06-25 15:23:55] [Andrew Rambaut] We should do that - just to troll those Chinese authors. [2021-06-25 15:41:00] [Kristian Andersen] I'm sure this'll be insightful... https://www.republicanwhip.gov/news/select-subcommittee-republicans-announce-expert-witness-forum-on-covid-1 9-origins/ [2021-06-28 14:56:25] [Andrew Rambaut] Shall we ask Mike W if he wants to be an author? I don't think it would be incompatible with his being on the Bloom letter and I think he would see the good science. Would be good to pull over a few Bloom letter peeps. [2021-06-28 14:57:24] [Eddie Holmes] Sure. It will be noted. Just make sure he doesn't share it. [2021-06-28 14:58:40] [Eddie Holmes] I might ask Peter Doherty. Would be good to get a Nobel on board. [2021-06-28 15:00:51] [Andrew Rambaut] How many extra authors do we want? Only big hitters? Broad range of fields? [2021-06-28 15:01:29] [Eddie Holmes] Not a huge number. People who will contribute. See other channel. [2021-06-28 15:02:08] [Kristian Andersen] Yeah, agreed - let's get some big hitters / CoV folks, but other than that, keep it simple. Mike would be good so we have some cross-fertilization. [2021-06-28 15:02:09] [Andrew Rambaut] But we don't want them actually to contribute - or we will get in the editing mess again.
