Two new contributions from us: @MeganRTeh on the wild metabolism of CD8 T-cells in iron deficiency and why they love aspartate; and the current landscape of the strong influence of iron on immunity in general, with @JoeNFrost nature.com/articles/s4157… nature.com/articles/s4146…
With a new Irish policy on alcohol labelling due to take effect next year, HRB Research Officer Anne Doyle reports on international voices, including the @WHO, calling for cancer warnings and other information to be displayed on alcohol products. Read : bit.ly/4hFt4sc

Your reagent is past its use-by date. Should you bin it? Some products are perfectly fine to use after their expiration date — if quality-control tests check out nature.com/articles/d4158…

Great turnout for our @COLRES_ITN Probiotic Commercialisation event at @UCC today. Looking forward to hearing from speakers @Gahan_Microbiol, @pauldcotte, Mary O’Connell Motherway APC & Eileen Murphy @AHealthIrl @Novozymes
Iron deficiency is highly prevalent worldwide but how it manifests at molecular/cellular levels is poorly understood. The brainchild of @MeganRTeh our new review is a compendium of why cells need iron and what happens when there isn’t enough! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
On April 26th tune in to Netflix to discover our research and how the power of the microbiome can 'hack your health'. @scienceirel @UCCResearch @TeagascFood 📽️ youtube.com/watch?v=VwfuJr…
I’m so excited about this PhD! Please spread the word. 🙏🏻

It was lovely to see our 10 INSPIRE fellows together with their academic supervisors at our INSPIRE Welcome event. Each fellow presented on their research and training experiences and the impact that the MSCA fellowship may have for their future careers @Pharmabiotic @MSCActions
Interesting!
Important perspective in @NatureClimate Leveraging neuroscience for climate change research
I successfully defended my #thesis in August. #PhD is like a rollercoaster ride, you just don't give up. Btw the best part of the viva was to hear from examiners "Congratulations we are happy to recommend you for the #PhD " #phdchat #phdlife
Exciting opportunity! #MSCA postdoctoral fellowships in Ireland in microbiome research. Call 2 of the MSCA #H2020 INSPIRE programme opens 30th August. More info on ucc.ie/en/inspire/ @Pharmabiotic @MSCANetwork @MSCActions @IUAofficial
