Too often we forget the ongoing suffering of the victims of the unnecessary 'armed struggle'. This is worth reading in full.

Happy to represent NI at the EU-WISH international workshop on wastewater surveillance. Disappointed not to see any UK representation on this list.

In NI we built a world leading programme to proactively monitor these virus, with results in real time and often in advance of clinical cases. It’s such a shame-and a worry-that we are no longer utilising this investment to support public health @Qubwastewater @AlanStout19

🚨 New video alert! 🚰💡 Dive into wastewater-based epidemiology—where science meets public health! We've made it simple and fun for everyone to understand. Watch now, follow us, comment, and share! Let’s spread knowledge, not just germs. 🌍🙌 👇🏻 youtu.be/ylFgMKi0fRU?si…

Wastewater based epidemiology can help underpin the One Health approach…and it really is a cheap and cheerful method of surveillance. BioTechniques @MyBioTechniques invited me to waffle a bit about our influenza A work tinyurl.com/45y2bh8w

We set up an NHS Lantern Lab for asymptomatic testing of HCW in NI along with colleagues in Ulster Uni. Frustratingly few samples received from HCW- bureaucracy. Instead we tested thousands of SEND samples- so facility was there- but not used for HCW. @VGBrown

Found a bit of free time to sort this commissioned serving board. Decent sized slab of ash with metallic black resin requested.

Influenza A in wastewater in Ireland: detection of human and avian influenzas, including H13s and a 2344b-like NS segment. 👉thelancet.com/journals/lanmi…

@DrMicrobiome @Qubwastewater Cheers mate!

@andy_jlee @Qubwastewater Congrats Andy! 👏

🚨New paper alert🚨Our influenza A (IAV) wastewater paper is no longer in pre-print purgatory and now published in The Lancet Microbe tinyurl.com/3wz56es4 @Qubwastewater we demonstrate the inherent value of WBE as a tool for combined human AND avian IAV genomic surveillance.

Lastly we would like to thank all those from NI Water @niwnews , NIEA @daera_ni , The British Trust for Ornithology @_BTO , @LancetMicrobe and our papers anonymous peer reviewers for the myriad ways in which they helped.

To all those twitter/twitterless colleagues involved we appreciate it so here's a Chuck Norris thumbs up @MarinaIReyne @stephencarson09 @dfgilpin @Phosphorus_ie @behnam_fi @eptroendle @TheCourtneyLab @geinarsson @jp_mckenna @Sultanyacurrant @mckinley_geojen @KenLemon6
