""" I couldn't see which DR of APOGEE spectra/labels you used , (DR12/14?) - perhaps put that in somewhere?

Perhaps you see this as out of scope but you could highlight how many stars you will have precise distances for using this methodology in the coming few years. Therefore effectively emphasise a little more the revolutionary nature of this work. For example for Sloan V's Milky Way Mapper (which targets the bright dust extincted giants where Gaia does poorly in parallax measurement) this will deliver distances to 10 percent precision. You have made bright red giants suddenly an extremely attractive set of stars to be observing. """
