I'm looking for 2 Postdocs and a Technician to join my team in @EdinUni_IIIR, investigating #mucosal #immunity & #inflammation during #schistosome #infection. If this sounds exciting to you, please apply! (deadline 19th Sep) 🪱🔬🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat… elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

First participants recruited into the INCAS study at @MFT_Research ! Randomised trial of interferon gamma in chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. More info here: clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05653… @NACincas @MFT_NAC @NIHRresearch #CPA @RBazaz @drAnand_Shah_

@haydentrco @FinanceTiger @narindertweets disappointing maths from the finance tiger, you hate to see it

@FinanceTiger @narindertweets there are clearly four white people bullying one brown woman but okay 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is unacceptable & deeply uncomfortable viewing. An entire white panel questioning a brown woman like a suspect. Ed Balls and Kate have left their homes this morning with no fear. Zarah and every other brown/black person left knowing they are a target

If you're looking for a PhD, & passionate about #helminths & #mucosal #immunity, please apply! This project in Edinburgh will investigate intestinal/lung #inflammation, tissue damage & repair during murine #schistosome infection (deadline 10th August) 🪱🤓findaphd.com/phds/project/m…

🏆Congrats to Postdoc Dr Amanda Ridley @AmandaRidleyM from the @douglaspdyer lab on winning the 2024 ICIS-Pfizer Amanda Proudfoot Tribute Award for Advances in Chemokine Biology by a Trainee! The award will help support writing applications & her career as a chemokine biologist!

Excited to share that my first first-author paper is now on @biorxivpreprint ! Here we’ve shown that leukocytes have a heparan sulfate glycocalyx that regulates their recruitment into skin during inflammation 🦠 🏃🏻‍♀️🩸 @douglaspdyer @SaundersLab1 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

No-go zones cover most of England. I’m talking about real no-go zones, not the mythical ones conjured up by Tory MPs and far-right conspiracy theorists. We need a much wider #RightToRoam theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

19 days since Keith Brown posted his offensive message comparing unionized staff to racist murderers. @OfficialUoM fail to acknowledge the impact of this statement, remove it from their channels, or apologise. They have not failed, however, in swiftly appointing a new Dean.

Bullying and thuggish. UoM SLT are saying they will increase deductions for the marking boycott, from an already disproportionate 50%, to 100%, just for not notifying participation at a random time of their choosing. Clearly punitive, legally dodgy, brutal and offensive. (1/3)

When foodies, celebrity chefs and even some environmentalists say we should eat "pasture-fed" or "grass-fed" meat, this is what it means in practice. The most damaging of all food products, it cannot feed more than a tiny number without causing ecocide. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Solidarity with teachers on strike today across England and Northern Ireland ✊ It's time the government got serious and started negotiating properly Teachers deserve a fully funded and proper increase in pay - nothing else will do We are with you @NEUnion #SaveOurSchools

An absolute treat to have been involved with this project. Exceptional work from @emma_houlder combining murine and field samples

Very happy to share our new study in @NatureComms revealing the key features of lung #inflammation during human and murine #schistosomiasis @LydiaBeckerIII @FBMH_UoM rdcu.be/c84g3

Proud to stand with our students and members of the local community against the minuscule, pathetic far-right conspiracy theorist demo on campus today. We must always oppose the vile bigotry that people like these seek to peddle.

NEW: Earlier today the University of Manchester sent bailiffs to forcibly remove students from the Simon Building after smashing down a door, ending their 6-week occupation of the building.

I have a new article where I discuss the barriers to cervical screening uptake we often leave out. There is also information about new research into alternative screening strategies. #cervicalscreening #cervicalcancerawareness manchesterresearchhive.wordpress.com/2023/02/21/cer…

How is this bigot @JuliaHB1 still employed by @talktv or any other media organization? I'm an #autism historian and this kind of talk led directly to Aktion T-4, the Nazi extermination of disabled children. She deleted the tweet but then non-apologized, calling it a "fact." OUT.

Our randomised interferon-gamma in CPA study is now on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05653193) so please check it out. We are hoping to start recruiting in Manchester in the new year. @MFT_NAC @NACincas @NIHRresearch @MFT_Research @RBazaz

A one-off 1% wealth tax on households with more than £1 million could fund the nurses’ demand for a fair pay rise 162 times over. Don’t ever let anyone tell you we can’t afford to pay workers what they need and deserve. Solidarity with members from @theRCN on strike today.
