Dear WG4 conveners,

We wanted to contact you regarding shared abstracts between our two WGs as it is useful to know how to divide the talks across groups, particularly given the tight constraints we all have. We believe there are 17 abstracts shared between our WGs (five of which are also shared with WG2, WG3 or WG5).

In terms of these shared abstracts we wanted to accept the following:
312, 167 (hoping to merge with another abstract we have), 214 (hoping to merge with another abstract we have), 150, 219, 138, 94, 264 and 119
- we are open to you considering the talks we have here which we are hoping to merge with others so please let us know if you were intending to take those talks.

We also intend to accept 424 which is submitted as a poster.

Therefore we do not intend to accept:
199 (also shared with WG5), 110 (we could have this one as a backup if needed), 174 (also shared with WG2), 226, 261, 269 or 270 (also shared with WG2)

Please let us know if you are taking any of these abstracts for talks and feel free to contact us with your thoughts on this or if you have any queries.

Many thanks,
Tom for WG1 conveners (Tom, Klaus, Barak)
