Irish Scientists On Call

Irish scientists seeking opportunities to apply their skills and expertise to combat the #COVID19 pandemic. Opportunities for jobs and volunteering

[Irish Scientists On Call @ScientistOnCall]

#ScientistsOnCall is an initiative set up to collate opportunities for Irish scientists to apply their skills and time to combat the #COVID19 pandemic. Opportunities are available already and will be regularly updated on the website 🔬🧬🥼👨‍🔬👩‍🔬

Why we need to follow New Zealand's example and aim to eliminate #COVID19 from Ireland.

It can be done.

There are many small initiatives underway for #PPE fabrication in Ireland which is still in short supply https://t.co/qJzUWtnQO9

URGENT REQUEST: Dr. Carolyn Meaney of @ULHospitals has requested an RNA Extraction kit – a Qiagen EZ1® DSP Virus Kit (Catalogue No 62724). If you have any to spare, please contact her directly at [email protected] #COVID19 @ucddublin @UCC @UL @nuigalway @tcddublin

Urgent call-out for Irish scientists to help global coronavirus response https://t.co/4KhLmtwjvt @Entirl @IDAIRELAND @hrbireland @IrishResearch @IrishTimes @KOSullivanIT

The UK Parliament have established an open #COVID19 expert database, and have called for researchers to contribute. Perhaps we could source and utilize our own research expertise in Ireland?

PPE is in short supply for all hospitals in Ireland. Staff from @nuigalway and @UL have developed a tool to coordinate PPE donations here https://t.co/NUQbymV9b5

@amhamon is urgently seeking to loan a MagNA Pure 96 instrument for a Dublin-based hospital. Please share within your institutes if you are aware of any that are available #irishscientistsoncall #COVID19 #scientistsoncall @ucdscience @tcddublin @WeAreTUDublin @MaynoothUni @DCU

[Anne Marie Healy @amhamon]

Urgent appeal for equipment loan - a Dublin-based hospital is looking for a loan of an instrument to replace their MagNA Pure 96 instrument which has broken down and is beyond repair. If you can help please DM me.

Leading journal JAMA published an important paper (with caveat of open label/small numbers trial) on Friday. 5 severely ill patients treated with anti-SARS-CoV2 antibodies. Impressive results. Viral load became negative, 3 discharged and 2 are stable.

Made a little poster for my family to help them understand what #coronavirus does and why you need to #stayathome and #WashYourHands. Feel free to share with your friends and families too! 🦠 #COVID19

@ScientistOnCall have large mailing list of experienced scientists eager to assist with scaled-up testing. We are aware of 1 new testing lab in Kildare & @ACSLM1 also seeking accredited staff. Huge opportunity to leverage University resources. @JOEdotie @HSELive @SimonHarrisTD

[Irish Scientists On Call @ScientistOnCall]

Some Unis/Institutes currently coordinating their own volunteer programmes. @ScientistOnCall aims to collate all opportunities for scientists even outside of Unis. Scaled-up testing will require a coordinated approach @HSELive @SimonHarrisTD @nvrlucdireland @CillianDeGascun

[Tomás Ryan @TJRyan_77]

Organized and targeted #COVID19 testing is not just about filling a glass. It's an opportunity to flatten the curve quickly, to keep it down without a 2nd spike, and to protect healthcare staff

Plenty of Irish scientists on call and waiting to assist with scaled-up lab-testing. Test test test! @WHO @SimonHarrisTD @HSELive @CillianDeGascun @nvrlucdireland

[Tomás Ryan @TJRyan_77]

This is it. Half a million PCR's/week. Germany is leading Europe in #Covid_19 control. Suppression is only Step 1. Ireland can get through in 4-6 weeks, with aggressive testing & tracing.

@AmelieOrange Thanks for letting us know! Please send an email to [email protected] with the details and we will put on the website if suitable!

[Irish Scientists On Call @ScientistOnCall]

Irish Scientists on Call has been set up to collate any opportunities for scientists in assisting with combatting #COVID19. Please enquire directly to the opportunities available and don't send CV's to us!

[Irish Scientists On Call @ScientistOnCall]

Many opportunities are being coordinated through individual Universities. If you are aware of #scientist opportunities for #COVID19 that we haven't listed, please email [email protected]!

[Irish Scientists On Call @ScientistOnCall]

@scienceirel and @hrbireland have funding calls open for research relating to #COVID19 spanning medical countermeasures, health service readiness, and social and policy countermeasures 

https://t.co/DnnMxu3aUp

[Irish Scientists On Call @ScientistOnCall]

There have been a number of funding calls opened and even a 'match-making' collaborative research forum initiated. If you're looking for groups to join forces with, check out https://t.co/ddllnRBVmn for collaboration opportunities.
