We are officially one week away from the 65th LIYSF in London 😍 We can't wait to make new memories this year! #LIYSF #countdown #science #STEM #london #internationalcommunity #memories #openingceremony

Had the BEST day yesterday celebrating my PhD graduation. My family, friends and the sun showed up to celebrate! It’s official - I’m now Dr Émer Hickey 🥹

Today marks my 10th year at London International Youth Science Forum 🥰 I still come away feeling just as inspired as I did in 2014. My highlight was a lecture from Kelly Chibale about drug discovery in Africa- highlighting the importance of using diverse patient populations in clinical trials 🔬 #LIYSF

Fungi drive asthma, but does this require germination? We show Aspergillus fumigatus spores activate DCs after just 3hrs of swelling, promoting airway allergy. Antifungal itraconazole limits swelling & reduces allergic inflammation. doi.org/10.1016/j.jaci… Peter Cook
