Covid 19 – How you can help!

COVID-19 or coronavirus is here and every one of us is taking action to reduce the impact it has on our families and communities. We’re washing our hands, we’re staying at home, we’re thinking of those who are most vulnerable. But many of us may have additional roles to play.

While institutes of education are winding down activities, the HSE is ramping up its efforts in contact tracing and SARS-CoV-2 testing. Those with expertise in research administration and laboratory techniques may be needed.

Though we are not directly affiliated with the HSE or any HE institution in Ireland, we would ask that scientists in Ireland consider offering their help to the following initiatives. Please follow the links below to contact them directly.

To inform us of any new initiatives for laboratory scientists and researchers, please contact scientistsoncall@gmail.com
