Postdoc in the @ProfAndrewMac lab researching allergy and inflammation. Parasitologist masquerading as an immunologist.

[Andrew S. MacDonald @ProfAndrewMac]

I'm looking for 2 Postdocs and a Technician to join my team in @EdinUni_IIIR, investigating #mucosal #immunity & #inflammation during #schistosome #infection. If this sounds exciting to you, please apply! (deadline 19th Sep) 🪱🔬🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@haydentrco @FinanceTiger @narindertweets disappointing maths from the finance tiger, you hate to see it

[Narinder Kaur @narindertweets]

This is unacceptable & deeply uncomfortable viewing. An entire white panel questioning a brown woman like a suspect. Ed Balls and Kate have left their homes this morning with no fear. Zarah and every other brown/black person left knowing they are a target

[Andrew S. MacDonald @ProfAndrewMac]

If you're looking for a PhD, & passionate about #helminths & #mucosal #immunity, please apply! This project in Edinburgh will investigate intestinal/lung #inflammation, tissue damage & repair during murine #schistosome infection (deadline 10th August) 🪱🤓https://t.co/6BWgyGzucr

🏆Congrats to Postdoc Dr Amanda Ridley @AmandaRidleyM from the @douglaspdyer lab on winning the 2024 ICIS-Pfizer Amanda Proudfoot Tribute Award for Advances in Chemokine Biology by a Trainee!

The award will help support writing applications & her career as a chemokine biologist!

[Megan Priestley @MegTriesScience]

Excited to share that my first first-author paper is now on @biorxivpreprint !

Here we’ve shown that leukocytes have a heparan sulfate glycocalyx that regulates their recruitment into skin during inflammation 🦠 🏃🏻‍♀️🩸

No-go zones cover most of England. I’m talking about real no-go zones, not the mythical ones conjured up by Tory MPs and far-right conspiracy theorists. We need a much wider #RightToRoam

19 days since Keith Brown posted his offensive message comparing unionized staff to racist murderers.

@OfficialUoM fail to acknowledge the impact of this statement, remove it from their channels, or apologise. They have not failed, however, in swiftly appointing a new Dean.

[UMUCU @UM_UCU]

Bullying and thuggish.

UoM SLT are saying they will increase deductions for the marking boycott, from an already disproportionate 50%, to 100%, just for not notifying participation at a random time of their choosing.

Clearly punitive, legally dodgy, brutal and offensive.

When foodies, celebrity chefs and even some environmentalists say we should eat "pasture-fed" or "grass-fed" meat, this is what it means in practice.
The most damaging of all food products, it cannot feed more than a tiny number without causing ecocide.

Solidarity with teachers on strike today across England and Northern Ireland ✊

It's time the government got serious and started negotiating properly

Teachers deserve a fully funded and proper increase in pay - nothing else will do

We are with you @NEUnion

An absolute treat to have been involved with this project. Exceptional work from @emma_houlder combining murine and field samples

[Andrew S. MacDonald @ProfAndrewMac]

Very happy to share our new study in @NatureComms revealing the key features of lung #inflammation during human and murine #schistosomiasis @LydiaBeckerIII @FBMH_UoM

Proud to stand with our students and members of the local community against the minuscule, pathetic far-right conspiracy theorist demo on campus today.

We must always oppose the vile bigotry that people like these seek to peddle.

[Rivkah Brown @rivkahbrown]

NEW: Earlier today the University of Manchester sent bailiffs to forcibly remove students from the Simon Building after smashing down a door, ending their 6-week occupation of the building.

I have a new article where I discuss the barriers to cervical screening uptake we often leave out. There is also information about new research into alternative screening strategies.

[Steve Silberman @stevesilberman]

How is this bigot @JuliaHB1 still employed by @talktv or any other media organization? I'm an #autism historian and this kind of talk led directly to Aktion T-4, the Nazi extermination of disabled children. She deleted the tweet but then non-apologized, calling it a "fact." OUT.

[Chris Kosmidis @ckosmidis]

Our randomised interferon-gamma in CPA study is now on https://t.co/Pl2A4WvIsG (NCT05653193) so please check it out. We are hoping to start recruiting in Manchester in the new year. @MFT_NAC @NACincas @NIHRresearch @MFT_Research @RBazaz

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

A one-off 1% wealth tax on households with more than £1 million could fund the nurses’ demand for a fair pay rise 162 times over.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you we can’t afford to pay workers what they need and deserve.

Solidarity with members from @theRCN on strike today.
