🧵1/3 Many if you may wonder why #adoptees are so angry at the >6 month rule which excludes them from the #financialredress of the #motherandbabyhome scheme. This is the medical report that prospective adoptive parents had to get from their GP after 1970

A lot of what looks like microbial engraftment after FMT might actually be noise. Using placebo sequencing and culture-enriched metagenomics, we sort signal from noise. Our latest from the Surette lab: https://t.co/cKESkWUZRj

There is a massive divergence between the proposals farmers are putting forward to combat bovine TB and those being made by @agriculture_ie But something needs to happen soon, as reactor rates spiral out of control
farmersjournal.ie
As TB runs out of control, the Department of Agriculture and farmers have never been further apart on how to tackle the problem.

Today’s report is disappointing but not surprising. It is clear we cannot simply appeal to any sense of moral duty from religious orders to ensure justice. Our @labour Redress Bill would compel institutions to pay up and close legal loopholes.
Two out of eight religious bodies have offered a financial contribution towards the cost of the Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme

🚨🚨News: Interested in the proteome configuration that makes a cell permissive or hostile to virus infection? Why mRNA levels do not fully reflect the proteome status after interferon treatment? See the new paper from @castello_lab and Mohammed lab https://t.co/LVJYpF2TSs

.@tamsin_redgwell (Copenhagen University Hospital) and colleagues published a new paper on #prophage induction in infant gut microbiomes, showing most prophages were actively induced and may modulate host bacterial functionality through accessory genes. https://t.co/mpE6MCJEyh

Not one single penny contributed to the appalling Redress Scheme from religious orders. Compel them to pay and make them accountable for decades of human rights abuses.#MotherAndBabyHomes
The Govt has spent 4 years begging religious orders to contribute to redress for survivors of mother and baby homes - without success. These orders made millions on the backs of enslaving women & children. When is the Govt going to go after them with more than a begging bowl?
