Funding of third-level education: fundamental issue must be addressed - urgently. Patrick O'Donovan Simon Harris TD irishtimes.com/opinion/editor…

🪼Jellyfish and humans parted ways evolutionarily just after neurons emerged. Now that there's a genetically tractable model, jellyfish provide exceptional opportunities to study nervous system evolution, function and regeneration. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #neuroscience #evolution

THAT’S my boy…!!! Get’em, Bob. 🖖🏼👊🏼✊🏼💙🖖🏼Robert Picardo

Major paper! The team found that fibrinogen (which converts to fibrin): -binds to spike -forms clots + neuro issues -acute stage fibrinogen = predictive biomarker of #LongCovid cog dysfunction! -suppresses natural killer (NK) cells (which clear virus!) nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/

“We get a LOT of questions about Long Covid. We should probably come back to it and do it properly.” ALASTAIR CAMPBELL to Rory Stewart on The Rest Is Politics Please do an episode on LC and ME/CFS. Like, RT, comment to let TRiP know how important this is.

Sex or survival—what’s more important? Excited to share our nature paper on how flies resolve this conflict. We found a dopamine-based filter that reduces threat perception, helping flies focus on courtship when close to mating. nature.com/articles/s4158…

This looks to be a massively important paper that could explain many aspects of what's happening with COVID-19. It will undoubtedly trigger a whole spectrum of further studies. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Are you a PI based in Europe with a team of students and early postdocs who have amazing research projects that miss a technique you don't have in your lab to make their dream come true?BE a Mentor and GUIDE them to apply for a fellowship by 15 Oct!loom.ly/zpZxxC0

Register and submit abstracts by September 3rd to be considered for one of our 8 X speaker slots at the MCCS '24 Symposium in Chicago

It’s 30 years today since the I.R.A. called its initial ceasefire. Getting a peace deal took until 1998. And yes, that part of the world is still a troubled society. But it’s also seen a huge transformation from the days of the conflict — for the better. Change can happen.

There are basic inaccuracies in this piece by McWilliams but more insidious is that he wrote it in response to a decision this week by (democratically elected) South Dublin CoCo to refuse Google's proposal to expand their data centre complex in Grange Castle 🧵

Being a PI is exactly like running a startup. With the caveats that you cannot bank any money and there has been no adjustment for inflation in 25 years.
