@EmmandJDeSouza It’s appalling Emma. A couple of weeks ago I tried to get a bus from Galway to Enniskillen. 2.5hr car journey was going to take 6 hours on the bus! In the end my brother was driving from Cork and stopped in Galway and collected me.

My 6 month old was referred to @HSELive ENT clinic in Nov 2020, we got a letter saying we could have an appointment yesterday. 2 YEARS LATER! I just called up to make an appointment and the next available appointment is in January!

@whittledaway Wow I did not realise that Cavan had a coastline.

Does anyone have any good suggestions on how to ‘put back together’ a bagel that was incorrectly cut up? Asking for my angry 2 year old.

Come visit us at the @MarineInst stand in University Limerick during the #IrishSkipperExpo to talk about our work and different projects going on @ifish_project @Dr_J_Cee

My 2 year old daughter has just told her father to ‘come’. The way we would call the dog. Seems appropriate for #InternationalWomensDay
I hope all the wonderful #women in our lives have a great day.

@KerrysWildside @noonan_malcolm @WhitmoreJen @COSullivanTD @GraceOSllvn @codohertynews @lornasiggins @RTENewsPaulC @irishexaminer @think_or_swim @cooper_m Especially considering the amount of € the government are spending on aerial surveys right now to establish critical habitats for cetaceans in this area. The results of which are going to be compromised by these activities.

@StrepsipZerg @FromPhDtoLife Yep. Spent 4 years there and then returned to academia for 6years. Currently back in another government institute where life is much more pleasant!

[Dr Patricia Breen @PatriciaABreen]

@KVS_VLHydro @FromPhDtoLife Thanks Koen. Currently vegetating in another government science institute after 6 years of moving goal posts, sliding up and down pay scales, no job security and countless funding and lectureship rejections. Life is good. I hope you are good too?

New contender for reviewer 2 comment of the year suggests that the outcome of the statistical analysis was obvious from the raw data so therefore the analysis was not needed. There goes my job! #reviewer2 #AcademicTwitter
