Many years ago, the #MedicalScientist in my life was on call over Christmas. I was 7 months pregnant, and so was worried when he left the house in the middle of the night (both for his safety and also for the safety of the patient who he was being called into work to help) 1..

Another great day on the picket. Sad it had to come to it but the atmosphere and support from the public was brilliant. Hopefully the talks tomorrow are productive or we'll be back out next week! @MedLabAssoc @orourke_darren @DonnellyStephen @HSELive

Solidarity with #MedicalScientists as they prepare for industrial action next Weds. Tánaiste says WRC and Labour Court stand at the ready...but what about DoH, DPER, HSE? There's a win-win here if they're willing to grasp it. @MedLabAssoc @ACSLM1

I know I'm a little late to the party but finally watching suits and I have to say Louis Litt @RickHoffman_ is one of the best played characters I've seen in a long time. Well done sir!

Dang it but a great game @CooperKupp and @AaronDonald97 deserve all the praise. Big players make big plays! Disappointing but won't be the last for @JoeyB and @Real10jayy__

Over 400 MLSA delegates vote by a large majority at the MLSA AGM in favour of a motion calling on the Executive Committee to ballot members for industrial action in pursuit of pay parity with scientific colleagues. MLSA Exec will meet next week to consider next step.

Can we get this retweeted As a small profession of only 1700 #MedicalScientists we need public and media support. You all now know who we are and the essential role we play in clinical care @Colmogorman @HelenORahilly @RobOHanrahan @laoneill111 @philipnolan1 @ShaneBeattyNews

Maybe a little late to the party but one of those moments that really should be appreciated whatever anyone's political views. I wonder how long till it's a female president speaking to a Madame speaker and Madame vice president

On International Biomedical Scientists Day today we would like to recognise the heroic efforts of our Laboratory Scientists in Beaumont over the past year and celebrate their role in the C-19 Pandemic. The crucial role that this cohort of HCWs is being recognised globally today.
