Lancet study finds “no evidence” that Tylenol use in pregnancy increases the risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability, despite claims by Trump and backers, by Jennifer Yang www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... via @theglobeandmail.com
We live in a rapidly and profoundly changing world. Happy New Year to those never tired of figuring it out! 🥂
I'm still here. In the last months I developed an insanely hyper-focused interest in reading evidence based research on parenting. It served me to remember that not everything published is good/applicable/full picture. Good reminder for my actual work too.
Welcome on Bluesky @eshre.bsky.social 🦋
Reproduction and Fertility is seeking a new Associate Editor to join our Editorial Board in the field of ovarian biology.
This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to the growth and development of a Q1 journal.
📩 Interested applicants are invited to send their CV to raf@bioscientifica.com
Happy #BreastfeedingWeek! I wish a world where everyone would receive sound evidence-based breastfeeding advice instead of crappy opinions
Back here to say I'm headed to Sweden a couple of days for an exciting new project and this is the first time I travel without my child! Huge milestone (for me). Bittersweet, but necessary moment. Love this with all its difficulties.
Ironically, the reason we have menopause is that it was evolutionary advantageous in those historical times to have older people not reproducing 🤷♀️ they existed. And were post menopausal.
For my 1st #mothersday I got an ill child (hence a difficult night and day + not the present I wanted -my husband to take photos of us- because of the illness) and tomorrow I'm supposed to start working full time again. And somehow I'm more happy and at peace than I ever was in the last few years 😧
Six years later and this is still one of the top experiences of my career. Please, do yourself a favour and apply to be an #ESHRE 5👌 #reprosky

Thank you for writing this. While I'm a new mom, it deeply reasonates with me. Even if you are in a relationship it's not easy (very stable relationship since 21, child at 36 main reason: demands of 2 high profile careers, distance) And i am a physician-researcher in fertility, I should know better
To keep it real: scientist-moms days aren't only filled with inspiring conferences + baby's cuddles at night. Sometimes you have days like today, full of bureaucratic obstacles to overcome when returning to work, difficult planning, emails not answered and baby screaming for no reason 😅
Here at #EOW2025 we are getting to know the naked-mole rat and her secrets for forever fertility 🤩
A room packed with #ovary enthusiast scientists: what a sight ✨ #EOW2025
The 1st European Ovary Workshop conference is happening right now! An ova-welcome from all the organizers #EOW2025
Figure 1. Trends in Biannual US Infant Mortality Rates, 2012-2023
🧵 US states that implemented abortion bans saw higher than expected infant mortality rates, with larger increases among Black infants and those in southern states, according to this analysis of US national vital statistics data from 2012–2023.

The science community here is very nicely growing 🦋
For ex., the WHO says babies should be exclusively breastfed up to six months, but most countries do not offer 6 months of mat leave. And when it is possible there are few or no actions to be sure that colleagues are not left understaffed because of it
My 👶 is 3 months, exclusively breastfed. She is learning all things fast, but still very much a baby. I'm doing research + teach my lectures, but feel 100% not ready for clinics today. Happy to have the chance to take a couple more months, but I think we should rethink maternity leave better
I'm nap-trapped under my daughter. I would like to work or read, but both computer and book are too far away. I'm left with checking mails. Nothing makes you adapt like a baby. Bye 👋
This. And the need for additional explanations.
"Dairy" "Ok, so you can't eat eggs!" 🤦🏻♀️
But why? Why do people think that wheat and eggs contain milk and cheese doesn't?
My experience with the ESHRE journal club greatly exceeded the expectations I had when I funded it 5 years ago. It is among the most significant of my career so far! I'm excited about new #ESHRE members having this opportunity! www.eshre.eu/Publications...
Now that I'm approaching what probably is the last festive period of my working life without being on call, my thoughts to all the wonderful colleagues spending the holidays far from home to guarantee our health 🎄🏥
Happy to reach 100 followers on here 🔵!
It may seem not much, but I'm overjoyed to start building again a curated feed and to see inspiring posts from colleagues instead of fake news and paid promotion ✨
We've known since the 1918 pandemic that #influenza is dangerous to pregnant people.
There's a recently published meta analysis of avian / H5 influenza in pregnancy. Maternal mortality was 90 %.

I'm amazed by the science of #breastfeeding. And baffled we do not really study it & instead approach it with tales and superstitions. In which other areas of science are evidence so undermined?
Graphical abstract: 1/4 of cancer survivors used emergency contraception at least once
#Contraception use in cancer patients and survivors is frequently suboptimal due to incomplete/absent counseling. There is no informed choice without information!
Here we review the evidence and propose a pathway www.dovepress.com/contraceptio... #survivorship
Happy to participate in the effort for defining shared research priorities in #fertilitypreservation, you should too!

Happy that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions on Bluesky! There is a very nice growing community of scientists here 🤩
Great resource for teaching 👇
