My paper is published! 🎉
This was a very tough study. I investigated a human #lncRNA that is down regulated in obese fat and its role in #adipogenesis and #inflammation.
I'm genuinely so proud! 😇
Thanks to my reviewers and co-authors.

@daraobriain we were reminiscing of @MockTheWeek and I've just read it's coming back in February! Feels like we need this show now more than ever!!
@BBCTwo So glad it's coming back!

@Debenhams how do I get help with an item that arrived damaged? I have contacted both your WhatsApp and Facebook customer care and only get a bot reply, which told me someone would contact me soon. That was 6 days ago!!!

Home in Ireland. It's officially that time of year where I can forget what day it is, for the next two weeks! 🎄🎉 Excited to switch off!
Happy holidays everyone!

@British_Airways Yes same flight BA0830. Somehow magically took off exactly 2 mins before it would have been 3 hours delayed. The point at which you would us a refund. What a pathetic service.
Your app wasn't updated either past 10am.

[Marcella O'Reilly PhD @TweetMarcella]

@British_Airways @therailwayman66 There was no gate information or staff available for 2 hrs.
Email to customers of this delay was way too late.
I've never flown with British Aiways before and it will be my last.
I booked the early flight for a reason. I won't reach my final destination until 5pm.

[Marcella O'Reilly PhD @TweetMarcella]

@Ryanair I've taken 4 flights with you guys in the last 9 days and every one has been delayed.
What's that about?

If you’re choosing a research group to join, pay just as much - if not more - attention to the culture and mentoring style in the group than the research.

You can succeed in lots of research areas or projects, but it’s tough to succeed in an unsupportive environment.

[Marcella O'Reilly PhD @TweetMarcella]

Really love this.
So important for developing the next generation of scientists. 👏

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

As a research mentor, it’s common to see someone whose project is not working but they are doing all the right things to troubleshoot.

Don’t underestimate the power of saying “Even though your experiments are failing, you are still succeeding at research.”

Thank you @CellReports for publishing our work! 🎉
▪︎ linc-ADAIN expression increases during #adipocyte differentiation
▪︎ linc-ADAIN is suppressed in white #adipose tissue of obese humans
▪︎Knockdown of linc-ADAIN leads to increased #inflammation and sustained adipogenesis

@DrPorman Good Luck with all @DrPorman What an amazing year ahead of you. 🎊🎊🎊
My only advice is take the offers of help and ask for help. You got this!

@BupaUK I had book 2 digital doctors appointments today and both were no shows?
How am I supposed to receive care?

@NatWest_Help Sorry no your colleagues reply to me on Cora and specifically state they will close the chat. They do nothing to help me.
I need help changing my address. Why is this so difficult?

[Marcella O'Reilly PhD @TweetMarcella]

@NatWest_Help
Hi. 4 of your 'Cora' chat agents have closed conversations on me when I requested help to change address. The change address service online and app says 'temporarily unavailable'. Not one agent would help me. They just closed the chat.

The housing crisis in Ireland has gone on for too long.
A home is a need for survival and to thrive.
The government needs to do more.
Threshold is calling on them to hold a Referendum to vote on a right to housing.
Please retweet.

#homeforgood

[Threshold @ThresholdIRE]

Ireland’s housing system is broken. We need a stand-alone, enforceable right to housing that supports progressive and effective housing policies across governments. Threshold supports @HomeForGood_ 's call for a referendum on the right to housing. #HomeMeansHope #HomeForGood

[Marcella O'Reilly PhD @TweetMarcella]

New home!
New chapter!
New adventure!
