Good to see TCD in the top 50- with proper funding TCD would be higher (eg for better staff/student ratio) and other Irish universities would climb up the rankings.

New paper out @Nature - why are males more vulnerable to severe infections (ex acute #COVID), while females suffer more from autoimmunity (SLE, MS etc and also #LongCovid)? sex chromosomes or hormones? Here we studied adaptation of human immune systems to gender-affirming testosterone treatment in trans-men assigned female sex at birth: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
