I should have gone sooner, it started to act up a few months ago on and off and I thought it would heal by itself. The knee has been ongoing issue anyways. But I’m getting the treatment now and over next 10 weeks minimum and I’ll follow all to the letter, exercises and all, need to put in the work!

Interesting thread related to triple negative breast cancer among others.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Little did I realise …. And I’m up watching another film and … it’s empty and I’m not even sitting on it, in case she wants to. 🤦‍♀️ Pooka is asleep on me under my chin, as I sit in my armchair NEXT TO THE EMPTY NEW COUCH!!!

We will be bringing them to the forefront of people’s minds later next year with a series of papers :)

Their ancestors also known as cave hyena … much larger than their descendants today, spotted hyena. But yep we have a few of the cave hyena/Ice Age spotted hyena roaming around the southern Irish landscape. Stay tuned for more about our research on these later next year!

While listening … am washing cave bones from our July excavation… holding a partial ulna (front leg) bone in my hands of an Ice Age Spotted Hyena (the larger ancestor to modern spotted hyena in Africa). Yes, Ireland has these top predators/scavengers some 40,000 years ago! #PALAEOIreland 🏺

Yeah, that rounds him up nicely - food is inhaled at feeding times! Then runs to Prince to see what she has. Doors have been closed now during feeding times in separate rooms.

I love her - she calls a spade a spade and not afraid to speak her mind and truth.

Ruth Carden 🦴 🐾 🐚🦪 @ruthfcarden.bsky.social · 3d

Woohoo! Later next year we can swap notes on cave fauna - Ireland vs Scotland 😊 things are changing … for the better !
