#ScientistsOnCall is an initiative set up to collate opportunities for Irish scientists to apply their skills and time to combat the #COVID19 pandemic. Opportunities are available already and will be regularly updated on the website 🔬🧬🥼👨🔬👩🔬

Why we need to follow New Zealand's example and aim to eliminate #COVID19 from Ireland.
It can be done.

"These are unprecedented times and it is heartening to see how willing @UCD_Conway researchers and staff are to contribute to the national effort to combat #COVID19" - Prof Liam Gallagher @WaterfordMafia @ScientistsOnCall #IrelandOnCall

There are many small initiatives underway for #PPE fabrication in Ireland which is still in short supply irishscientistsoncall.com/op…

The UK Parliament have established an open #COVID19 expert database, and have called for researchers to contribute. Perhaps we could source and utilize our own research expertise in Ireland?
@SimonHarrisTD @CMOIreland @ClionaOfarrelly
@ScientistOnCall @scienceirel @OireachtasNews
Parliament will be looking for expert insights into many topics relating to COVID-19 and its impacts in the coming weeks. If you have relevant research expertise, please join our database to help Parliament access your expertise quickly. Join: bit.ly/2wC1UB9 ~the KE team
PPE is in short supply for all hospitals in Ireland. Staff from @nuigalway and @UL have developed a tool to coordinate PPE donations here covidmedsupply.org/

Leading journal JAMA published an important paper (with caveat of open label/small numbers trial) on Friday. 5 severely ill patients treated with anti-SARS-CoV2 antibodies. Impressive results. Viral load became negative, 3 discharged and 2 are stable.

Made a little poster for my family to help them understand what #coronavirus does and why you need to #stayathome and #WashYourHands. Feel free to share with your friends and families too! 🦠 #COVID19
Some Unis/Institutes currently coordinating their own volunteer programmes. @ScientistOnCall aims to collate all opportunities for scientists even outside of Unis. Scaled-up testing will require a coordinated approach @HSELive @SimonHarrisTD @nvrlucdireland @CillianDeGascun
Organized and targeted #COVID19 testing is not just about filling a glass. It's an opportunity to flatten the curve quickly, to keep it down without a 2nd spike, and to protect healthcare staff
@Agbowie1 @ClionaOfarrelly @SeamusJMartin @laoneill111 @MillsKingston @ScientistOnCall
@ScientistOnCall have large mailing list of experienced scientists eager to assist with scaled-up testing. We are aware of 1 new testing lab in Kildare & @ACSLM1 also seeking accredited staff. Huge opportunity to leverage University resources. @JOEdotie @HSELive @SimonHarrisTD

Plenty of Irish scientists on call and waiting to assist with scaled-up lab-testing. Test test test! @WHO @SimonHarrisTD @HSELive @CillianDeGascun @nvrlucdireland
This is it. Half a million PCR's/week. Germany is leading Europe in #Covid_19 control. Suppression is only Step 1. Ireland can get through in 4-6 weeks, with aggressive testing & tracing.

Many opportunities are being coordinated through individual Universities. If you are aware of #scientist opportunities for #COVID19 that we haven't listed, please email scientistsoncall@gmail.com!
@UCC @ucdscience @ucddublin @tcddublin @scienceirel @nuigalway @UL @WeAreTUDublin
Irish Scientists on Call has been set up to collate any opportunities for scientists in assisting with combatting #COVID19. Please enquire directly to the opportunities available and don't send CV's to us!
There have been a number of funding calls opened and even a 'match-making' collaborative research forum initiated. If you're looking for groups to join forces with, check out network.crowdhelix.com/covid… for collaboration opportunities.

As virtual care becomes our best option for vulnerable pts cocooning over the coming weeks, the HSCP Office is developing a repository of self management tools to support @WeHSCPs delivering services.
Can you help? Pse send info/ tools to @AlisonEnright2. Further info soon 🙏
Scientists are still urgently needed to assist with #COVID19 testing a repurposed lab in Kildare (data entry, sample processing and PCR). Please share and see irishscientistsoncall.com for further details! @HSELive

covidmedsupply.org/ has just been set up but not a lot of action on it yet - if someone at LUH can put up a PPE call here, it may be answered!

Our #medicalscientists are reporting shortages of #viral lysis buffer. Reagents for laboratory testing for #Covid_19 are in huge demand. If anyone in the science community has any to spare could they DM me or @ACSLM1 Míle mile buíochas. Can you also RT far and wide to pharma etc

If you are a scientist in any discipline and you want to contribute to the fight against COVID-19, we have created a platform to help you do so: crowdfightcovid19.org/
And if you're already working on COVID-19, this is also for you!
