We are shocked and appalled at HSE plans to implement a recruitment freeze among a wide range of healthcare staff NCHDs. This decision will inevitably impact negatively on patient care. imo.ie/news-media/new…

Outrageous. I finished a 26 hour reg shift this morning. I and everyone on my rota have to do this once a week, as a direct result of not having enough staff, chronically and by design. It is not fair on doctors and it is not safe for patients. You get what you pay for.

It feels shit, doesn’t it? As someone who went through the exact same a few hours ago, Ireland fans, god it feels shit. Like cold silence invading a part of your heart that held hope and joy. This Irish team have been incredible and you all deserve to feel proud again tomorrow.

This tweet, from a racist, encapsulates the distorted sense of Irish nationalism that fueled awful events yesterday. Cited deaths of Ashling, Michael and Aidan as examples of foreign savagery and failed diversity. Let's look at names he didn't mention and why they matter. /1

Ever wanted to have a go at building your own research instruments, but didn't know where to start? Or maybe you're just curious about what's possible? If so, we've got you covered! We're hosting a DIY microscopy workshop on March 21st. It's free and open to everyone! (1/5)

Had a fantastic time at this excellent workshop on quantitative bioimage analysis using Fiji and Python! 🐍Thanks to everyone who organised this great event! @CALM_STP RMS Microscopy Society of Ireland🔬

So proud of Dr. Ross O'Carroll who graduated today from UCD Medicine with an MD - Ross put in so much hard over the years and it was lovely to celebrate with him today! ☀️🔬He is also the first Dooley lab graduate! 🥳 Here’s to many more! 👨‍🎓🍾🤩 #teamSCI #proudsupervisor

Today's bumper haul of comb jellies included a couple of Beroe, the first time we've found any around the coast. This particularly voracious one, which has already eaten two Pleurobrachia, looks pretty in slow motion.

Introducing the STEM book club! 📚🧬 Our goal is to foster enriching conversations and a deeper appreciation for the scientific wonders that shape our world. Join us for our first event in the Hole in the Wall, 5th of August, where we will be discussing Humanology ✨📚

Let me introduce: InstanSeg 🦠🔬💻👩‍🔬 This *would* have been a short thread about Thibaut Goldsborough’s PhD work… but he solved too many problems. Now it's a long thread about 2 preprints, a whole new approach to cell segmentation & #opensource software to make it easy to use

I'm very grateful to Research Ireland for funding my postdoctoral fellowship in Eimear Dolan 's group, UoGSchoolofEngineering. We will work towards developing new strategies to treat Ovarian Cancer to hopefully improve patient outcomes.

Not to be missed!! 🎶🩺
