Thanks, Simon - I've signed.Patricia Carter has set up a collective e-card to send to Ian Lipkin to thank him for his impressive efforts on the XMRV study and beyond.
I thank you for your kindness to those of with ME, and your intelligent and skillful handling of the study results
Don't know about repentant but certainly won over; Lipkin is an incredibly impressive guy. Some interesting quotes from his recent podacst on TwiV (transcibed in part by Patricia).Oh, this is a repentant and reformed Patricia Carter?
The card is a communal one, currently with 116 signatures, that will only get sent when finished: I don't think Ian Lipkin will mind this one thing in his inbox . But twitter would be good too - no idea if he is on there.Great idea. I also wanted to thank him, but did not want to bother him with more email.
Is he on twitter? Does anyone know the best way to tweet him thanks?
JAH
Dr. Lipkin doesn't have a personal Twitter account as far as I can tell. Lipkin's Center for Infection and Immunity is on Twitter at
@CII722
It's a biggish group and he is one of four directors, so I don't think Tweets would go directly to him. But the tweets from that account have been very interesting during this past week - sounds like someone speaking with more authority than, for instance, a junior staff member might be able to.
I think signing the card is less likely to get lost in the shuffle than a tweet or email. I signed the card.
