my favourite paper of our group of 2019

I asked the gang over coffee which one of our 2019 papers you like most...
We can not agree! Variety of opinions is the spice in any group/team etc :)

I chose this one.

The in vitro antithrombotic properties of ale, lager, and stout beers

A paper that shows moderate drinking is good for you. A paper about Ireland, a paper about brewing.

Enjoy your Guinness/ale/lager over Christmas !
Any fermented food and drink is nutritious!

But! Remember!

Ancient Greeks loved harmony and believed that METRON ARISTON, moderation in all things is the code to live by. 

from FLIPS@UL to all of you

It started as a joke one day in the lab.
How would we name our research group?
After few minutes of active brainstorming, the name FLIPS was created.
F fod food
Lip for Lipids
s ...for the plural.

Here is a photo from all the FLIPS team saying goodbye to Martina, who has been visiting our group on the Erasmus scheme.

With our best wishes for Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy Polar-Lipid 2018!

May His Star bring you Warmth, Love and Courage!

we are what we eat

We are what we eat and animals are what they eat!

So, it is not surprising that

Irish researchers say green pastures mean better dairy products

Over the festive season, let's remember that food is the best medicine!

Merry Christmas !
