🧵1/6 Our latest research on the relation between systemic-inflammation and cognitive decline. Our study, published in BrainBehavImm @ParianteLab, reveals significant insights into how severe COVID-19 impacts brain health. #LongCOVID #Neurology #brain #ICU

Great to see a major neurology journal like Brain highlighting clinical work on #delirium (much neglected). Check out Lasse Giil speaking about this nice demonstration of impaired glucose metabolism during delirium. academic.oup.com/brain/pages/po… pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37658825/

Roderic O’Gorman said that progressive groups who weren't supporting a 'Yes' vote in the referendum would have to explain why. Fianna Fáil TD John McGuinness says this "sounded like a threat," and that O'Gorman was "out of order." He added that he is personally voting 'No'.

A shareable pdf of our Lawyers for No document has been requested by a number of people who want to share on WhatsApp and other platforms. Link is below and thank you sincerely to everyone who has been engaging with us on this. One week to go to #VoteNoNo michaelmcdowell.ie/assets/compone…

This short clip is worth a listen. Catherine Connolly is one of the most decent and most sensible people in the Dáil. These are her very plain and clear reasons why we should #VoteNoNo

This is an emotive lie from Womenscouncilireland This is has been the basis of whole campaign from the government and from all the NGOs that Roderic O'Gorman threatened to push for Yes. Women can be president! #VoteNoNo so that they are ALSO protected to stay at home with kids if they want to!

But, when it comes to how this referendum was won, or lost, depending on your point of view, i don't find that to be so mysterious. To begin, a positively uncanny number of Irish people have mothers. Now, i know the plural of anecdote is not data but everyone i know has one! 10/

Interesting, in the light of the Irish Times article below, that the Trinity College Dublin policy on gender identity is explicit that "Some indicative examples of UNLAWFUL discrimination include.... refusing to address a person by their preferred gender pronoun or new name"

A bit overwhelmed by the #ADS24SAC whirlwind but grateful to have been invited to speak at so many exciting sessions, including important back-to-back delirium superimposed on dementia symposia 🧠

It was fantastic to be at the Infection Neuroscience Laboratory meeting yesterday at University of Liverpool . So many interesting talks and great conversations Greta Karen Wood Tim Nicholson Tom Pollak Cordelia Dunai, Ph.D. Professor Benedict D Michael MBChB, FRCP, PhD Ed Bullmore . Powerful patient public involvement via Encephalitis International Learned a lot!

Type I interferons - this time from the CNS vasculature, contributing to neurodegeneration.

Women will have to box against these biological males in the Olympics. The IOC think this is ok. This is insanity. It is not fair and it is not safe.

There you have it folks. Biological Male (XY chromosomes) beats woman into submission within about a minute in Olympic boxing bout. Italian woman Angela Carini quits fight for her own safety after taking heaviest blows she ever experienced. IOC MEDIA reassures that this is ok

The next Glia Club meeting will be on the 13th Sept at 1pm in TCD TBSI School of Medicine - Staff and students welcome for 3 great talks, see flyer for details 🧠🧬🧫🔬

Enjoy a good old fashioned scientific debate on Twitter. Rarely get this sort of stuff at conferences or in journal correspondence anymore!
