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.

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 www.eshre.eu/ESHRE2025/Me...

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

🧵 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. ja.ma/4aVchPn #MedSky

The science community here is very nicely growing 🦋

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 %. #MedSky + #ObGynSky + #IDSky. wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/...

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?

#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! If you are working in the field or a FP patient please help by filling this 10 min survey 🔗 qualtrics.ucl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_... @hajrakhattak.bsky.social

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

Great resource for teaching 👇

I finally saw the movie #Joy after so many enthusiastic comments from colleagues all over the world Damn, you all were right. The adversities, the hope, the joy.. I'm moved and reminded of why we do what we do everyday 🧪👩‍🍼

Happy #Thanksgiving to my US friends! 🥂 to find reasons for gratitude in difficult times too

Leaving my daughter with grandparents for the first time to attend the thesis defence 🎓 of the student I supervised! Feeling excited but also.. like I miss a piece? Is that being a mother? (I also panic-pumped at 3 am to leave an extra stash of milk in case those in the freezer weren't enough 😂)

If you are searching for a place to showcase your ovary-related research and network with like-minded researchers, search no more! Send your abstract here: europeanovaryworkshop.com deadline is Nov, 27 Travel grants available! @hajrakhattak.bsky.social @omarammar.bsky.social

Hey, #blueacademia, do you have a favourite publ of yours? Now I'm approaching 100 peer-reviewed indexed articles, my favourite is still this one 🔗 academic.oup.com/humrep/artic... 👇 the role of the #oncofertility unit beyond fertility preservation, a manifesto of what I do everyday in clinics!

Bets are open: will I be able to revise this manuscript before she wakes up? #academicmom @academic-chatter.bsky.social

In a leap of enthusiasm, I decided maternity leave was the perfect moment to read Musil's Man Without Qualities. Because doing two hard things is better than just one? I so recognise that #Europe, one century later. And my daughter thinks it's perfect to rest her feed while nursing #winwin #booksky

Hello everyone! I post mainly about human reproduction research, fertility preservation and academic life 👩‍🏫 I would love to connect ☺️
