In case anyone is writing a paper to submit to Science and is worried about length, don't be. We got clarification from one of the editors there: the Abstract can be any reasonable length for initial sub. They don't decline a paper b/c of the length of the Abstract/text.

Don’t worry about word count when writing your first draft - it will change dramatically anyway. And don’t even worry about word count when submitting your paper. 9000 words for a 7000 limit is totally acceptable for a first submission. It’s more important to be understandable.
