One more sleep!
Hopefully something nice to wake up toGets released at 0430 Thursday my time, and it's late Tuesday afternoon here.
So two more for me.
Nobody seems in any way to be preparing for a result which says something along the lines of
'We found no genetic links or associations', or 'we found only a tiny association which could easily be noise/down to another confounding factor'
Essentially a negative result.
Do we somehow have certainty that this isnt going to happen?
I'm more trepidatious for a negative result than excited for something positive.
Sorry to be negative I am really struggling & low. I seem to remember Jonathan having a positive outlook on it but he didnt/couldnt say what. I'm very fuzzy memory not good
I feel the same. I strongly believe that this study is of value whatever the results because negative results tell us just as much as positive ones. I'm 100% sure that whatever the results, they can be built upon and are a step along the way. But I think it will be natural to feel a little disappointment if the results don't show any statistically significant links or associations. I'm trying preparing myself and not build it up too much. Let's remember to celebrate the excellent work that's been done regardless of whether the results are exactly what we want or not.Nobody seems in any way to be preparing for a result which says something along the lines of

Just wondering if there is a reason for the 7pm embargo with all the talk of time zones etc. 7pm an odd time to lift an embargo? Am more used to midnight and early morning ones. Curious as to the rationale. Anyway, hope to be on here with everyoneSorry, not at the moment, the preprint is embargoed until 7pm BST tomorrow.
