Good discussion with @StephenNolan @BBCNolan this morning on the ongoing influenza and RSV epidemics in Northern Ireland.
Some hospitals in Republic of Ireland restricting number of patient visitors due to current surge of flu

Delighted to share our recent publication on the discovery of the antihistamine azatadine demaleate as a promising drug against SARS-CoV-2, either alone or in combination with other antivirals, such as remdesivir. Enjoy, and share widely: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Check out this excellent webinar from the International Society for Respiratory Viruses on November 5th, 1:00 - 2:30 PM GMT. Registration is free.

Very exciting opportunity to become the 1st CEO of the International Society for Respiratory Viruses (isrv.global). Details here: reed.co.uk/jobs/Chief-Execut…
So proud of these fabulous new lab alumni Dr Courtney Hawthorn @CSHawthorn and Dr Trisha Coulter, who graduated with their PhDs on Thursday last. It is so special to share this moment with them as they reach the highest award in academic studies. @WWIEM_QUB

Very good thread. It is critical to follow the facts and the data about vaccines and vaccine safety and not be ideologically driven. Selective use of data to support false anti-vaccine narratives costs lives, as we have seen already with the measles virus outbreak in the US.
RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. @FoxNews might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵
Come join us. We have some really great young scientists from all over the world telling us about their great science.
🚨Webinar alert!🚨
#ISIRV webinar next Tue Apr 15th, 1pm GMT on the highlights of the recent #RSV2025 meeting! Six (6!) top speakers aligned. Open to everyone, free but mandatory registration through this link: attendee.gotowebinar.com/reg……

Fantastic achievement by @MaryMcC97 in being awarded 4th place poster prize @iRSVsociety, considering over 300 abstracts submitted. She did the lab very proud, as did @eringetty98 and Saeed Samadizadeh, who also presented very well. @WWIEM_QUB
Some of the crew @iRSVsociety @RSV205 in Fos do Iguazu, Brazil. Excellent talks and posters throughout. @WWIEM_QUB
