Hi Saul,
I don't think I ever did anything here --- beyond our discussion.
Did you submit figures rounded down 25%? Do I need to do anything on
my end?
Sorry for possibly dropping the ball... August was a crazy month.
We did however submit our Nature paper on GRBs and SNe -- so the
crazyness may have paid off.
All the best,
Andy
