🧵1/3 Many if you may wonder why #adoptees are so angry at the >6 month rule which excludes them from the #financialredress of the #motherandbabyhome scheme. This is the medical report that prospective adoptive parents had to get from their GP after 1970

Today’s report is disappointing but not surprising. It is clear we cannot simply appeal to any sense of moral duty from religious orders to ensure justice. Our @labour Redress Bill would compel institutions to pay up and close legal loopholes.

🦇🎣🦇 Happy to share our study on 🐟fish-eating 🦇#bats! Our findings reveal, for the first time, that Rickett's big-footed #myotis (Myotis pilosus) consumes marine fishes. It consumes more 🐠fish during the dry season, and more 🦋insects during the wet months.

🚨🚨News: Interested in the proteome configuration that makes a cell permissive or hostile to virus infection? Why mRNA levels do not fully reflect the proteome status after interferon treatment? See the new paper from @castello_lab and Mohammed lab mcponline.org/article/S1535-…

Not one single penny contributed to the appalling Redress Scheme from religious orders. Compel them to pay and make them accountable for decades of human rights abuses.#MotherAndBabyHomes
