Beyond proud of Brooke Bullington, whose PhD dissertation committee I have been HONORED to serve on, who defended her research on the contraceptive paradox!

When you have published over 45 papers during your graduate work, the sky is your limit!! #reprosky

Why are young women opting to be sterilized? 😩 What are unintended consequences of this decision?🤔

Data are not political. Clinical guidelines are not political. Healthcare (which is a human right) depends on both.

Restoring access to CDC and NIH datasets and guidance is a public health imperative. ACOG and leading physician groups urge Congress to ensure that CDC, NIH, and public health agencies have the resources and ability to provide physicians and the public with the information they need. bit.ly/4hPJjCR

Thrilled to be selected by President Biden for the PECASE Award!

Thanks to NICHD/NIH for the nomination! I don't really feel as "early career" as I did when nominated 4 years ago, but I am so happy to see recognition of the importance of science (esp in SRH) and our pipeline!

Honored to receive an invitation to serve on an NIH Institute’s Advisory Council from Secretary Becerra! More importantly, hoping this means that our nation continues to invest in women’s health and contraceptive research!

Patient and obstetrician-gynecologist perspectives on considering long-acting reversible contraception for postpartum patients who desire permanent contraception We sought to understand patients’ and obstetrician-gynecologists’ priorities in seeking or recommending long-acting reversible contraceptive methods (…

There is a large discrepancy between patient and obgyn priorities in seeking or recommending permanent contraception. LARCs are equally efficacious clinically but are not equivalent to permanent contraception for patients!

There is NOTHING “pro-life” about the anti-abortion movement

Thanks! It’s a palindrome!

Pregnant with no OB-GYNs around: Maternity care became a casualty of Idaho's abortion ban After an Idaho hospital closed its obstetrics department, pregnant women in the county have been left without nearby care. Their OB-GYNs fled the state.

Abortion bans do not decrease abortion, lead to worsening maternal health, lead to clinician moral distress, and lead to obgyns leaving communities.

How is this "pro-life"??

Thank you @nationalacademies.org!

It makes NO sense that my NIH funding is from an institute devoted to child health and human development. We are more than our ability to procreate.

Texas committee won’t examine maternal deaths in first years after abortion ban The largest state with an abortion ban, Texas can offer broader insight into the impact of abortion laws than any other state in the country.

Well if you don’t measure it, it didn’t really happen right?

Missouri Judge Upholds Ban On Gender-Affirming Medical Care For Trans Youth The judge also suggested that treating gender dysphoria could be a slippery slope to depriving the Missouri legislature of its ability to regulate drugs.

Calling gender-affirming care experimentation is blatant disinformation. There is no slippery slope to deregulation, just evidenced-based care that saves lives.

Citing “abortion on demand by adolescents” gives away that this is just more moral policing

The Texas Ob-Gyn Exodus Amid increasingly stringent abortion laws, doctors who provide maternal care have been fleeing the state.

You know what happens when doctors leave a city/county/state because it is unsustainable to continue to practice there?

People suffer.
That’s it.
There is no other outcome.

It has been such an honor to serve as a fellow and consultant to the @nationalacademies.org Standing Committee on Reproductive Health Equity and Society. Last committee meeting today - but looking forward to continued work!

Confidentiality is important - but public health findings and science must be public.

Especially when the government involved may not wish to be accountable for the findings.
