The Minsons Visit Ireland!



In November, my former advisor Chris Minson and his family (wife Julie, and kids Maia and Tyler) came to Cork for a visit! Chris is currently on sabbatical in Liverpool, England and was lucky enough to take a few days off from work to cross the channel and spend some time with us! We had a great time - we toured Cork City and took the bus to the coastal town of Kinsale. The Minsons also took a mini-trip on their own to the Ring of Kerry.

Chris also gave a guest talk to the Department of Physiology at UCC on his current work in womens vascular health (thanks Britta and Jessica for all of the data - it looks great!!) Our department was extremely impressed with Chris and very thankful that he was willing to put in the time and energy to give a very interesting talk!
