Well done to Tristram and all the team on our latest publication- possible new anti-coagulants for sepsis and Covid-19.
Buzzing to share my PhD work out now in @NatureComms. We've found a procoagulant type I interferon-tissue factor axis in macrophages, and the anti-inflammatory drugs DMF (clinically approved) and 4-OI are anticoagulants via inhibition of type I IFN-TF! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

It is out... a complete labour of love...now we can make any type of bat cell from 3mm wing punches, non-lethally sampled and discover how bats can do all of the cool things they can do...@bat1kgenomes @BatLabUCD @VGP_GenomeArk @Sonja_Vernes @laoneill111 authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

Endless queueing for the security checks, flight cancelled and replacement plane delayed… The severely understaffed Dublin Airport is really something else. One of the worst airport experiences I’ve ever had. #ACL2022

You know it's Christmas when the @TeelingWhiskey Christmas Tree lights up Newmarket Square! Great to see this return again this year with so many people braving the cold. The Hot Whiskeys certainly went down a treat tonight😋 #teelingwhiskey #irishwhiskey #supportlocal #dublin8 – at Dublin City, Ireland

Could be a polaroid photo of a #bat, but it's just my #PCR results. The brighter the band, more #insect #DNA I have in that sample 👌 Each column corresponds to a different bat 💩 sample. Now comes the next step, what bat species are eating the cacao #pests? 🦇➡️💩➡️🧬➡️🪲➡️💵🍫 – at Durham, England
