Christy Wray

Awesome to present my work for the first time at #molhelm23

@RussMorphew Thanks Russ! I'll still be a part of team Fluke at heart 🪱

@CWrayQUB Excellent news fella…really pleased for you. #TeamFluke…hope Finland 🇫🇮 goes well!

Slightly late, but very happy to announce I successfully defended my PhD thesis with minor corrections earlier this month! 🥳 Still love my worms and all my worm friends, but I've jumped over to cancer as a postdoc at The University of Oulu, Finland! 🇫🇮

@LeeMeehan2 Cheers Lee!

And for obvious reasons I'm jumping ship here, but please find me and connect over at bsky [dot] app/profile/cwray.bsky.social 🤘

Been a pretty great week, capped off with a long coming publication as co-first author! Awesome collaborative effort into nematode neuropeptide conservation, check it out! bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

@DrPipDunne Thank you Phil!

@CWrayQUB Congrats 🎉

PhD submitted! Ready to sleep for a few years now I reckon... Or a few weeks at least, then off to Finland!

@CWrayQUB @UniOulu Final push Christy!!! Nearly there :D

Marathon not a sprint PhD analogy... It was painful and just kept going, but enough about the PhD...One marathon done and now just a few weeks left to finish thesis before submission! And very happy to say I'll be joining the breast cancer genetics team in @UniOulu in January!

@JohnGilleard @UniOulu Thanks John! I think the winters out there rival Calgary, although big coffee culture to keep warm 😁

@CWrayQUB @UniOulu Congrats on the marathon and the job Christy!

@SheffdeParty My god 😍

Never kill yourself

@MarinaPapaiak @stephenrdoyle @DrCinziaCanta @BryoEvolution @phylofacts Really cool work! Congrats to all involved

THANKS TO ALL FANTASTIC COLLABORATORS for providing 🪱 , eggs and 💩 samples. This work would not have been possible without their support!! Thanks to the fab @stephenrdoyle, @DrCinziaCanta, @BryoEvolution and @phylofacts for their support and constant enthusiasm!! - end of 🧵

Our preprint is now out on BioRxiv! #STHs #worms #diagnostics #helminths biorxiv.org/content/10.110… ⁉️ How are parasitic worms linked globally, and how reliable are our current diagnostic targets and qPCR assays? Let me take you through a journey 🧵 1/

Come a long way from being terrified of setting foot in the lab to the mythical triple qPCR run... Almost finished wet lab work for PhD!

Very much enjoying #socepa2024 in Seville - managed to win my favourite prize of all time coming 3rd in a quiz, Spanish artisan leeks!

Después de un largo viaje he llegado a Sevilla! Estoy deseando comenzar el concurso #socepa24 @SO_CE_PA @Socepa2024

@tapairportugal Hi, thanks for the reply although you didn't actually answer if I can/should still bring a checked bag?

@tapairportugal Hi, I've asked another question regarding baggage

@tapairportugal Hello, I'm flying from Dublin to Seville via Lisbon on Sunday, will this flight be going ahead?
