@TheMastersonLab @MaynoothBiology Thanks Joanne. I really appreciate that. Colleagues like you have made it a pleasure.

@Cooganlab A colleague recently attended a policy brief with our major Science funding body. In 45 mins the term "science" or "scientist" were not used once. Shambles

Irish science research funding equivalent to that of one uk university, how can we compete on scientific excellence with so few resources?

@Cooganlab We use a big black trough. Our "20-years a leakin" roof has improved the rather naff wall "installation". #IsItArt

My workplace IT policy has gone OTT. My search for the new antiparasitic "Xdemvy" was blocked due to potential adult content.....phwoar look at those diseased eyes.#Xdemvy

Very sorry to hear this today. Sister Majella was one of those people who changes your life when you meet them. I remember when @helenfallon introduced us I knew I would never see some things the same again. May she RIP.

@Cooganlab Does yours fire a death ray? I had to disable mine for obvious reasons.
