#WorldDiabetesDay, the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting who discovered insulin. This meant diabetes stopped being a death sentence, but sadly not everyone has access to insulin. He sold the patent for just $1, he’d be sad to know it doesn’t belong to the world like he intended

We had a great day at Celebrate Science @CorkScience yesterday, kick starting another great #ScienceWeek #STEMCIT

We will be having a meeting this Wednesday 13th November in meeting room 2 in the Student Centre from 2-4pm All are welcome! #meeting #biotechnology #scicomm #instapic #societies #science #cit #citbiotech #citbiotechsoc #citsocieties #livelivesocieties

🎓Huge congratulations to @CIT_ie students graduating this week. 👏 #ProudMoments #Celebrations We wish you all the very best for the future🎓 Photos courtesy of @DKanePhoto

“He was plating out some Enterococcus. He didn’t throw away the plate for a couple weeks and we saw this contaminant.” The cells were round in shape (aka cocci bacteria) so McCallum and the lab began calling it “Noodlococcus.” @ContamClub #scicomm microbialmenagerie.com/2019/10/17/noo…
