momentum has stalled for me on everything the last few weeks, sorry
Steph has been pretty unwell so I have been looking after her most of the time
Matt MacManes
@macmanes
everything ok?
oh dude.. I’m really sorry to hear
Rik
@blahah
various things, but most seriously a kidney infection
seems to be clearing up now though, and baby is fine
just that she's in pain all the time
Matt MacManes
@macmanes
wow.. alright, lets save talking about manuscript for another time.
Rik
@blahah
we are actually leaving merging out of the transrate paper, because we're not sure it works as expected

katie was really sick for several of her pregnancies. It was terribly nerve wracking
Rik
@blahah
sorry to hear that
yeah it's stressful
evolution really screwed women with pregnancy
Matt MacManes
@macmanes
no shit..
its no wonder pregnancy relatd mortality was high pre modern medicine.
Rik
@blahah
yeah!
on the ms, I am very interested in doing it still
and with transrate so close to submission it will be a good time to do it
Matt MacManes
@macmanes

Rik
@blahah

Matt MacManes
@macmanes

@blahah
I'll start by re-reading the draft and my notes
I think I was going to analyse some rice data, is that right?
Rik

@blahah
very cool - your lab has quite a variety of nice biological questions
quite a contrast from labs that feverishly pursue a single question
