👨‍🔬🧫🦠🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏉 Looking for viruses with @HepEHour

[Kevin Purves @KevPurves]

If you're interest in what my group and I are upto, why not give @HepEHour a follow for all things virology! 😁 Some really cool research to come out over the next months! 😉

[HepEHour @HepEHour]

I'm Kevin (@KevPurves) and I'm a postdoc with @NerdyNic's brilliant group! 🦠🦇😷 Currently interested in SARS-CoV-2 persistence💩 and intend to shift towards HEV🐖 Also plan to merge my postdoc skills with my marine and viral ecology background🐟🌊 A fan of rambling & rugby 🏉🧗‍♂️

[Kevin Purves @KevPurves]

Doe-lighted to announce our #OneHealth project is now published! 🚀 A fantastic collaboration between @HepEHour & @UCD_Wildlife, featuring extensive lab and fieldwork. Dive into our research on #PublicHealth and #WildlifeResearch 🦌🦠. Read the paper here: https://t.co/pMv16b5bHR

[HepEHour @HepEHour]

We're thrilled to share that our study reporting #SARSCoV2 seropositivity in urban deer in Dublin, Ireland, will be published in @CDC_NCEZID🦌✨ A huge group effort involving many hours unforgettable field work! #OneHealth #PublicHealth #WildlifeResearch

[HepEHour @HepEHour]

First up @AmyHFitzpatrick organised a #VirusHunters 🦠🔍day for local secondary schools. We all lead small groups in making scientific posters based on @FrontYoungMinds articles. Hopefully we inspired a few #FutureScientists #STEM #ScienceEducation

[HepEHour @HepEHour]

We also ventured to Yorkshire ☀️ to celebrate @HBrown0890's special day 💒🍾 We traded in our lab coats for glad rags & made some core group memories #ScienceInStyle #ResearchAndRomance

[HepEHour @HepEHour]

@KevPurves paper has been published in @SciTotEnv‼️ This study compares decay characteristics of #SARSCoV2 & MHV in #wastewater💧, highlighting MHV's potential as a surrogate for SARS-CoV-2 #research Congrats to the team! https://t.co/q20nsFwebq

#RNA #virus world! I need a mock community of at least 8 diverse RNA viruses. Does this exist? Do you make it yourself?

Did I wear a green suit to represent the Irish division at @MicrobioSoc Young Microbiologist of the year competition??

Yes, yes I did 🇮🇪☘️

So honoured to have been amongst the shortlisted candidates today, all of the talks were incredible! Huge congrats to the winners 🥳

[Amy Fitzpatrick @AmyHFitzpatrick]

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that I have joined @NerdyNic at #UCD as an Irish Research Council #postdoc! I will be developing sequencing methods for #RNA #virus detection🧬🦠 I will also be collaborating with #Citizen #Scientists to discover novel viruses 🌟

Deer in Dublin’s Phoenix Park are the first deer in Europe shown to have been infected with the coronavirus that causes #COVID19, likely a result of regular human contact. https://t.co/KCpes9Cvmv

[Nicola Fletcher @NerdyNic]

Very nice commentary on our preprint describing SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the Phoenix Park deer. A great collaboration between @ucdvetmed @UCDSBES @UCD_Conway @CEPHR_UCD and of course the brilliant @UCD_Wildlife 🦌
