I hope Natasha reads this and knows that everyone women in Limerick is behind her right now. We are all behind you 💚 This cannot be justice. Violence against women and girls is out of control in Limerick. It stops now

@mulcahyforbes @OrlaByrne12 One to watch for the future folks!

@tamzinfurtado Thank you so much Tamzin, can't wait to collaborate with you on the next step of this research. The social science sphere is fascinating! 🐴🤝

How can we move the dial on 🐛parasite control in🐴?By understanding human 🙋‍♀️🙋behaviour -that’s how! @mulcahyforbes @AlisonBurrell4 @aineregan Vivienne Duggan & Ursula Kenny. See our @VParasitology paper https://t.co/2JE2g8PZxP

@mulcahyforbes The WP2 team! Much done but so much more to do 💪🤗

@amandalawlor02 @Ca5Andres @ucdvetmed Haha, always keeping it classy 🙈🙈🤣. Thanks so much Amanda!!

Can't believe its graduation day! Such a big year - the arrival of Miss Caoimhe Barry, & finishing my PhD, all during a pandemic. Thanks so much to my family, colleagues & collaborators. Such a special day!

@UCDInfectionBio In figure 4B, one of the PBS mice lived for the 15days, is that unusual and would it indicate a level of natural immunity? If so with such small numbers could natural immunity confound results? #ccib2019week18

[Nikki Walshe @NikkiWalshe]

@UCDInfectionBio A mistake in the text description of figure S9,they refer to individual dots representing mice but only a bar chart is present.With such small groups(n=4-7mice)are bar charts a good representation of data?Would individual plot points be better? #ccib2019week17

[Nikki Walshe @NikkiWalshe]

@UCDInfectionBio In figure 3 do the dots represent observations, if so why are there double the observations on day 180 compared to day 9? Also how come at day 180 there are 3 categories but this new category duoxa +/- is not recognized at day 9? #ccib2019week16

[Nikki Walshe @NikkiWalshe]

@UCDInfectionBio Regarding sampling,some sites have only 1sample and El Paso has 21samples, would this skew results?Regarding continent, N.America and Europe had >90 samples whilst Oceania and S.America had 10, is that number sufficient for the conclusions drawn?#ccib2019week15

[Nikki Walshe @NikkiWalshe]

@UCDInfectionBio Intracellular iron uptake was not in proportion to biofilm formation and with the known absence of gene-encoded iron transporters in some strains,could ROS be created using a different mechanism to see if enhancement of biofilm formation occurred? #ccib2019week14

[Nikki Walshe @NikkiWalshe]

@UCDInfectionBio In figure 1B PspK-deficient cells had markedly increased intraepitheal growth whilst the wild type had very little growth, would that be an area of interest with regarding to proliferation of the bacteria and subsequent virulence?#ccib2019week13

[Nikki Walshe @NikkiWalshe]

@UCDInfectionBio There is a reduction of donors from 20 to 9, is there any criteria for selection, are they from the initial 20 donors?Would 9 donors be enough to have conclusive findings from this study or is it the number of neutrophils that are significant? #ccib2019week12

[Nikki Walshe @NikkiWalshe]

@UCDInfectionBio Why would they need to separate the guts and proboscises for analysis, using FFLB, why not combine them? Why was April selected, is it a particularly high prevalence month and therefore a good reflection of the population? #ccib2019week11

[Nikki Walshe @NikkiWalshe]

@UCDInfectionBio And now for something a little different…. https://t.co/7Fk9LRzz9K #ccib2019week10
