I am so thrilled to be joined by a fellow macrophage enthusiast Dr Fred Sheedy this week. Fred is an Ussher Assistant Professor at Trinity College Dublin interested in macrophage function in health and disease as well as innate immune training particularly in the context of Tuberculosis. We chat also chat about immunometabolism and his recent research focus on Immune Health and Nutrition and why 'we are what we eat'.
In this episode he chats to me about growing up in Cork, finding himself in Dublin and his love of creative writing. We also chat about the importance of LGBT visibility and representation in STEM, Fred's own experiences as an LGBT researcher and the 'brain drain' across the sea. This is an episode full of laughter - I hope you enjoy!
