@nwcfl Someone has confused a 0 with a 6. Easily done. @FCIsleOfMan

Final Saturday night update after the evening kick off

Zero draft is a critical part of the academic writing process. But a lot of folks ignore it and run into all sorts of problems including the writer's block. Here's what a zero draft is and why you should write one:

It’s over! We’re heading into Christmas with three points! #isleofman #Ravens #Nwcfl

🎓 Congratulations to Dr Thomas McLarnon on successfully passing his PhD viva! Tom’s doctoral research focused on sendotypes: combinations of senescence biomarkers capable of predicting clinical outcomes years in advance across major age-related diseases, including COVID-19, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and chronic kidney disease (CKD). A particularly impactful outcome of his PhD is NephroNet (patent filed), a clinical decision-support tool that can predict renal function with precision up to one year in advance, with strong potential for real-world clinical translation. During his PhD, Tom presented his work internationally (USA and Italy) and made an outstanding contribution to the Rai Lab, where he played a key role in supervising, mentoring, and training undergraduate and postgraduate students. To date, Tom has two first-author papers, two second-author papers, and a filed patent, with another manuscript currently in preparation. I am delighted that Tom will remain in the lab as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, where he will help drive the commercialisation of NephroNet. Sincere thanks to @PoSciDonDAO for funding his post-doctoral fellowship and to @NIKRFcharity for supporting a prospective clinical study evaluating NephroNet and sendotypes for predicting renal function one year in advance that Tom will lead. 👏 A fantastic achievement and an exciting journey ahead. Many thanks to the examining panel: • External Examiner: Professor Salvador Macip • Internal Examiner: Dr Catriona Kelly • Chair: Dr Paula Mc Clean Sincere thanks to co-supervisors Dr Steven Watterson and Dr Frank McCarroll Special thanks also to Professor David Gibson and Dr Shu-Dong Zhang

Great win away from home! #isleofman #nwcfl #RAVENS

This is significant. As a parent who opts out of religious education because it is not education, Ive been following this closely for years. I don't want my kids at the back of the classroom, I want them to learn about all faiths. An inclusive education.

@gracehpeacock Isn't a quiet Punk and oxymoron?

The citizen formerly known as prince.... Who know that that was even possible.

Yesssssss!

@tuppster67 @ProfBrianCox Proper Shite to Proper Bo. (Can I get a causal rewind!)

@ProfBrianCox I think we should kow have an official "Cox Scale" to provide an accurate validity comment on theories, with "Proper shite" being at the lower end of validity. That way, someone high up in the scientific world would have to say "proper shite" in an offical meeting.

Proper shite.

We thank the reviewers for the useful comments x.com/Shinsho_ni/sta…

@RaiLabCTRIC They do the same in China too. Communism and all. Lots of legal reasons infrastructure takes so long here, land rights and appeal processes.

China spends it’s hard earned money on its people and it’s infrastructure In UK, we take from the economically active and give to economically inactive, foreign wars, nations or just waste it. How long will this type of bridge take to make in U.K.?

Is this the best Ryder Cup chant ever? To the tune of Zombie by The Cranberries, “He’s in your heeaad, in your heeeaaaddd, Rory, Rory, Ror, ry, ry, ry!” 🙌🇪🇺

Only 37 players have won away from home. Time we added to that? Our Time. Our Place.

@A_New_Ireland @JohnSte21548653 Could you link to the report itself, not the press release? Interesting results. Would like to evaluate the methods. Thx.

Thanks to Donnchadh O’Mahony for the opportunity of one of our lecturers @systemsbiology to briefly discuss what our Personalised Medicine courses at Ulster University can offer and how to navigate applying for this course via the CAO. Please get in contact for more information.
