New research from @TCD_NatSci implies that #heatwaves have a major influence on the spread of many diseases – and that many existing predictive models have overlooked this complexity.

Heatwaves have a major impact on the spread of many diseases — Irish research https://t.co/cju62EcAP0

[The Irish Times @IrishTimes]

Influence of heatwave and cold snaps on spread of disease likely underestimated, says study https://t.co/QyFfJ0OhWG

A new study suggests the links between heat waves and disease are a lot more complicated than we previously understood. Here's what that means https://t.co/gnOHmzpMaN

Heat Waves Are Changing Disease Dynamics in Unpredictable Ways, New Research Finds - my comments on a recent ⁦@PLOSClimate⁩ article in ⁦@insideclimate⁩ https://t.co/ji3jpxeGcv

[Niamh McCartan @niamhasaurus]

Thrilled to share our new paper in @PLOSClimate!

We tested how 64 different heatwaves affect disease—and the results were surprising.

Turns out, it all depends on the context.

Excited to announce that my first paper looking at the impact of cold spells on host-parasite interactions is now available in @BMCBiology! Check it out at: https://t.co/UGb2a93jLF

@Independent_ie The so called ‘Irish’ hurting their own services they’re a disgrace. Can’t even leave my own home

[Niamh McCartan @niamhasaurus]

@ActivePatriotUK You’re ruining Ireland it isn’t a protest it’s terrorising the locals

[EcoEvo@TCD @EcoEvoTCD]

Calling all TY students: if you've ever wanted to be a zoologist then here is your chance! Come be a zoology student at TCD for a week. Check out some past experiences on our blog and find out how to apply for 2024. #TY #workexperience #zoology #TCD

We are disgusted to have been overlooked in #Budget2024 despite assurances from @dfheris that IRC/SFI stipends would go up.

We are struggling. We are the backbone of Irish research & higher edu. We are undervalued by the state & our universities.

We are fighting back - join us

[SickWaterFlea@TCD @SickWaterFlea]

We are looking for a new postdoc to model disease under changing temperatures starting this fall, come join us!🔬 #diseaseecology #parasitology #sciencejobs #daphnia #postdoc @TCDZoology @TCD_NatSci @tcddublin

Today I finished a three month experiment and I presented at our #ZoBosymp2023 symposium: I’m going to have the best sleep of my life tonight

[TCD ZoBo Symposium @TcdZobo]

Niamh McCartan has been studying the effect of heatwaves and cold spells on disease using water fleas (Daphnia): it's complex!

Well done to our two PhD students @whitneyk127 and @niamhasaurus for presenting posters at #IEA2023 in Trinity today! @irish_ecology

[Floriane O’Keeffe @florianeeok]

Having a great first day at #BES2022 so far! Looking forward to seeing some of you at my presentation on the effects of temperature and phosphorus levels on Daphnia tomorrow at 9:45am in Lammermuir 2.
