We had a great morning @niscifest learning from @SJS_Cameron @RayRlnet @simchee_31 about how and why breastmilk is so important for population health, and highlighting the work of @WesternHSCTrust milk bank

[Simon Cameron @SJS_Cameron]

TOMORROW: 11am @QUBelfast Great Hall. Join us and The NI Human Milk bank to explore the fascinating science of human milk. Brought to you by @BreastivalNI as part of the @niscifest. Tickets are £1 using code "Breastival" at https://t.co/lFC9tyhSxp

Great opportunity at @QUBbioscience and @QUBIGFS for a Lecturer/SnrLecturer in Metabolomics and Biomarker Discovery. Great facilities and research environment. https://t.co/7CyTSac31w @FemalesInMS @bmss_official @MetabolomicsSoc #metsoc2022

[Dr Nick Birse (@nbir.se) @njbirse]

Great talk from Alice Flint on the use of REIMS for plant metabolomics, using different lasers (and a soldering iron) to volatilise the samples. This is going to be a really big area going forward, I reckon. #MetSoc2022 #REIMS #TeamMassSpec

@Jen_CESI @DrNShenker @Quinnanthrowman Definitely on my to-do list when we can collect samples with human milk in more normal times. I have some issues with this study though (methods and ethics) in that it is primarily conducted by a company that sells supplements for what they claim to find "deficient" in samples
