Incredibly excited to finally launch the new IUCN Centre for Species Survival: Ireland! This new partnership between Dublin Zoo and the @IUCNssc places Dublin Zoo at the forefront of species conservation efforts in Ireland! 🇮🇪

It’s a wonderful opportunity to present our modelling work about cancer stage migration in Ireland in the #SSM3023 @SocSocMed. Valuable feedback for further discussion. @pharmacoepircsi @lavallymaeve @_ptierney @RCSI_PopHealth

@NevilleCaoimhe @News_IACR Thank you! We were 2 very successful poster neighbours 😂

[Dr Paula Tierney @_ptierney]

Thank you to @News_IACR for the recognition and thank you to @LauraKaneMSc for collecting the award for me in my absence!

[Dr Paula Tierney @_ptierney]

Can't believe it! Delighted to win the prize for best post-doc poster at @News_IACR conference. Very happy for my 1st poster at a cancer conference & 1st IACR. Huge credit to the team at @IrishCancerReg, @RCSI_PopHealth, @MengyangZhang3, @pharmacoepircsi who collab'd on this work

[Dr Paula Tierney @_ptierney]

This work is part of an ongoing collaborative project between @IrishCancerReg & @RCSI_PopHealth funded by @IrishCancerSoc on the impact of COVID-19 on cancer services and outcomes in Ireland. Great to get the research out there and see it resonating with people at @News_IACR

[Dr Paula Tierney @_ptierney]

Many thanks to @News_IACR for shortlisting my & @MengyangZhang3's poster on the generation and applications of near-real time data in examining the impact of COVID-19

[Dr Paula Tierney @_ptierney]

@JOHNGLYNN1 @IrishCancerReg Not for this piece of work since we were specifically looking for rapidly generated cancer datasets but perspectives from doctors, nurses & patients on the ground form another piece of work coming soon and we are also investigating impacts on cancer stage in the coming year

[Mengyang Zhang @MengyangZhang3]

Great opportunity to present our modelling work about stage migration at #IACR2023. Poster No 148.

Habitat fragmentation is the greatest threat to biodiversity⚠️
With extensive epidemiological data, inoculations & eco-eco model we show that isolated wild populations lack resistance diversity, increasing their vulnerability to diseases
