New research from @TCD_NatSci implies that #heatwaves have a major influence on the spread of many diseases – and that many existing predictive models have overlooked this complexity. Read more at: tcd.ie/news_events/ar…

Heatwaves have a major impact on the spread of many diseases — Irish research irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/outd…

Influence of heatwave and cold snaps on spread of disease likely underestimated, says study irishtimes.com/environment/cl…

A new study suggests the links between heat waves and disease are a lot more complicated than we previously understood. Here's what that means bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Heat Waves Are Changing Disease Dynamics in Unpredictable Ways, New Research Finds - my comments on a recent ⁦@PLOSClimate⁩ article in ⁦@insideclimate⁩ insideclimatenews.org/news/04062025/…

Thrilled to share our new paper in @PLOSClimate! We tested how 64 different heatwaves affect disease—and the results were surprising. Turns out, it all depends on the context. journals.plos.org/climate/articl…

Excited to announce that my first paper looking at the impact of cold spells on host-parasite interactions is now available in @BMCBiology! Check it out at: rdcu.be/dYyeo

@MartaShocket @SickWaterFlea Pleasure having you, come back anytime!!

Thank you to @SickWaterFlea and his PhD student @niamhasaurus for showing me around Trinity College Dublin and generally being excellent hosts! Great conversations about Daphnia disease and temperature.

Get back into the swing of reading science communication after the holidays with our new blog post written by one of our own undergraduate students: Wolves Are Good Boys Too! ecoevoblog.com/2024/01/09/wol… via @EcoEvoTCD #SciComm #wolf #ecology #zoology #animalbehaviour #TCD

@Independent_ie The so called ‘Irish’ hurting their own services they’re a disgrace. Can’t even leave my own home

Luas and bus now set alight amid worsening violence in Dublin independent.ie/irish-news/lua…

@ActivePatriotUK You’re ruining Ireland it isn’t a protest it’s terrorising the locals

THE IRISH HAVE RISEN Ireland is on FIRE the people have have enough after the stabbing of little kids today by an immigrant

Calling all TY students: if you've ever wanted to be a zoologist then here is your chance! Come be a zoology student at TCD for a week. Check out some past experiences on our blog and find out how to apply for 2024. #TY #workexperience #zoology #TCD ecoevoblog.com/2023/11/23/so-…

We are disgusted to have been overlooked in #Budget2024 despite assurances from @dfheris that IRC/SFI stipends would go up. We are struggling. We are the backbone of Irish research & higher edu. We are undervalued by the state & our universities. We are fighting back - join us

We are looking for a new postdoc to model disease under changing temperatures starting this fall, come join us!🔬 #diseaseecology #parasitology #sciencejobs #daphnia #postdoc @TCDZoology @TCD_NatSci @tcddublin See link for more info 👩‍🔬 bit.ly/436r3gK

Today I finished a three month experiment and I presented at our #ZoBosymp2023 symposium: I’m going to have the best sleep of my life tonight

Niamh McCartan has been studying the effect of heatwaves and cold spells on disease using water fleas (Daphnia): it's complex! #ZoBosymp2023

RT and Follow @DirtyHit to win two tickets for tonight's show in Dublin #The1975

Well done to our two PhD students @whitneyk127 and @niamhasaurus for presenting posters at #IEA2023 in Trinity today! @irish_ecology

Having a great first day at #BES2022 so far! Looking forward to seeing some of you at my presentation on the effects of temperature and phosphorus levels on Daphnia tomorrow at 9:45am in Lammermuir 2.
