'Bus didn't show up in Cork? There's an app for that. No-Show Bus Cork is a new tracker designed by Sasha Mitichkin, a student at MTU. He plans to share the data with Bus Éireann and the NTA to help make "ghost buses" a thing of the past' tripeanddrisheen.substack.com/p/bus-didnt-sh…

After 15 years of dedication, we say a fond farewell to Verena Murphy as she embarks on retirement. Her passion for cancer research and belief in our mission have left a lasting impact. She’ll be greatly missed, but we wish her every happiness ahead. Thank you, Verena! 💙

🔬 Colorectal cancer (CRC) is rising—especially in younger adults. ⚠️ 361,986 new CRC cases in the EU (2022) ⚠️ 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths ⚠️ More under-50s diagnosed than ever Why? Poor diet, delayed screenings & gaps in early detection.
