Watch PIER participant Anrí O'Domhnaill on @IrelandAMVMTV tomorrow from 8 am.
Anrí and team led the 1st expedition to swim all way around the Irish coast using only swimming fins. Should be a great interview! @IWSie
Prelim results from the colonisation study are out!
8% of participants carried ESBL superbugs, with swimmers no more likely to carry them than non swimmers.
Next we will decode the DNA sequence of these superbugs to see how likely they are to cause infection - stay tuned!
Staff and students at @nuigalway have been presenting details of their work on global health and #pandemic preparedness 🔬😷💉
Ambassador @PJohnstonFCDO thanked them for their insights and enjoyed hearing about their first-hand experiences and current research projects 🤝
Before the storms @finswim2020 Anrí O'Domhnaill came to visit the PIER team at @arme_morris lab @onehealth_nuig. Anrí and team are 3/4 way done on their round Ireland finswim expedition!
