Closed UK: DecodeME updates, was recruitment thread.

[Sasha]

I appreciate that it won't be helpful to you but I won't be revealing how much notice will be given.

OK, no problem - I realise there'll be things you can't make public.

Email sent to our mailing list.

"We are writing to let you know that the initial DNA results from the DecodeME study will be available in the next few days. We plan to send you an email with our findings on Wednesday 6th August around 7pm. We will also be announcing the results on our website at this time.

We're letting you know the timing in advance so you can pace yourself if needed.

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to sharing more very soon.

Warmest wishes,
The DecodeME Team"

Looking forward to this. Thanks to everyone who has been working on it.

A press briefing is being held earlier on the Weds but the preprint is embargoed until 7pm, so no, there shouldn't be any coverage before then. We are obviously hopeful of getting media coverage but have no guarantees.

Should have let us know, we could have delayed things....

 

[Jonathan Edwards]

I should be on the high seas by Wednesday evening for a few days so I will expect the rest of the members to have sorted everything out when I get back.

 

[Comet]

So proud of you and the team @Andy!

I think the rest of the community would have had a thing or two to say about that...

I was hoping you’d be available for the media to contact. Do you know if you’ll have internet on the high seas?

I have an internet browser of sorts on my phone. I do not get email but I do get WhatsApp and S4ME alerts.

 

[Robert 1973]

This is great news @Andy. Thanks to all the team. Whether by design or good fortune, or a combination of the two, the timing should be ideal for getting it in the media while politicians are on holiday and journalists are desperate for copy.

I’m trying to temper my expectations in the hope that the results will exceed them. But I’m failing miserably, and therefore preparing for disappointment in the hope that the results will exceed my untempered expectations.

Can't believe it's only two more sleeps now!
