The UK Parliament have established an open #COVID19 expert database, and have called for researchers to contribute. Perhaps we could source and utilize our own research expertise in Ireland? @SimonHarrisTD @CMOIreland @ClionaOfarrelly @ScientistOnCall @scienceirel @OireachtasNews
Parliament will be looking for expert insights into many topics relating to COVID-19 and its impacts in the coming weeks. If you have relevant research expertise, please join our database to help Parliament access your expertise quickly. Join: bit.ly/2wC1UB9 ~the KE team

Leading journal JAMA published an important paper (with caveat of open label/small numbers trial) on Friday. 5 severely ill patients treated with anti-SARS-CoV2 antibodies. Impressive results. Viral load became negative, 3 discharged and 2 are stable. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3221…

Made a little poster for my family to help them understand what #coronavirus does and why you need to #stayathome and #WashYourHands. Feel free to share with your friends and families too! 🦠 #COVID19

Our #medicalscientists are reporting shortages of #viral lysis buffer. Reagents for laboratory testing for #Covid_19 are in huge demand. If anyone in the science community has any to spare could they DM me or @ACSLM1 Míle mile buíochas. Can you also RT far and wide to pharma etc

Awesome work!!!
First attempt at 50 min (from sample to result) CoV test with a 3 min extraction and rapid cycle RT-qPCR on a portable qPCR machine (16 samples per run) with readout on a mobile phone. Needs optimisation but looking promising. Collaboration with Jonathan Edgeworth at St Thomas'
