Gearing up for an exciting talk by @jfcryan.bsky.social! He started in the brain and ended up in the gut, so opposite trajectory from mine. But as Hippocrates say, everything starts in the gut - or more accurately, in the evolution of the holobiont.

An important reply to those who have argued that the education experience in Ireland is not a good one. We can and should improve for sure - but education from pre-school to PhD is at the heart of both economic and social progress. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...
