The Preeclampsia and Pre-natal Health Focus Group will host Anya Arthurs, PhD from Adelaide, Australia. "Molecular models of placental dysfunction." June 23rd at 12pm in DRC1 1005. @gundrylab.bsky.social @lyndakharris.bsky.social @unmc.bsky.social @unmccom.bsky.social @unmcphysiology.bsky.social

Congratulations @cclaremdmph.bsky.social! 🥳 This is exactly the kind of visionary leadership we need in these dark times. I am so proud to have interviewed Dr. Clare for @thegynarchy.bsky.social. Learn more about her work on Ep 6: Racism in Women’s Healthcare: youtu.be/Zue3CPjfErE?...

Pres Wilson is credited for Mother's Day. But Anna Jarvis campaigned for it from 1905-1914 in honor of her mother Ann Jarvis who had 13 children; 4 surviving to adulthood. Ann held events for doctors to talk w/ mothers about hygiene to combat infant mortality. www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2...

Study of 137 supervisors-subordinates during COVID finds men leaders w/ higher levels of hope used family-friendly supervision. Men w/ higher anxiety likely to use abusive supervision. Women leaders used family-friendly supervision no matter how they felt. theconversation.com/women-are-st...

Excited to see this new @thelancet.bsky.social journal which recognises that women's health exists within and also beyond obstetrics and gynaecology (while these specialties are super important to advocate for women around critical life events and conditions) #Lifecourse

Great immunology meeting in St. Paul, MN this May! Be there! Support reproductive health and research!!! theasri.org/2025-St-Paul #ASRI2025

Public spaces are often designed with male users as the norm. Men are 5x more likely to use basketball courts, 4x exercise areas & 20x skateparks vs to women & girls. Women must engage in 'safety work', navigating public saves to avoid male harassment. theconversation.com/women-are-th...

"Each year, NIH awards over 60,000 grants that directly support more than 300,000 researchers at more than 2,500 different institutions. In fiscal year 2023, every $1 of NIH funding generated approximately $2.46 of economic activity" www.nih.gov/about-nih/wh...

I was there and it was fantastic! bsky.app/profile/news...

DEI does not discriminate against anyone. It helps stop favoritism, subjectivity & secrecy in the workplace, ensuring fair opportunity for all. Attacks on DEI & civil rights enforcement are misuse of exec power. A presidential order cannot nullify federal or state law. fortune.com/2025/02/20/t...

I am proud to be serving as President of the American Society for Reproductive Immunology. Our members depend on strong federal investments in research. Read and share our statement, here: theasri.org/Public-Polic...

Helpful table to determine how much your University or health system is set to lose if the NIH indirect cap is suddenly lowered to 15%. For SJSU it is $374k which is on the smaller end but devastating considering our other budget issues. datawrapper.dwcdn.net/l0ZqA/8/

"Insist on being heard, on standing firm and on building a future where equality is non-negotiable. Setbacks are part of the journey, but they don’t define the outcome. Your voice, your effort and your persistence matter." @staceyabrams.com www.forbes.com/sites/marian...

This is utterly disgusting to create your own journal, set of rules that self-select authors & have ‘peer review’ that CANNOT reject papers. How will your average joe blogs know the difference but guess what - RFK et al have a journal of “peer reviewed articles’ to cite to support their decisions

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

Black women in the U.S. died at a rate nearly 3.5 times higher” than “white women around the time of childbirth in 2023. This is why research into disparities matters. Don’t censor the CDC www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/he... #blacklivesmatter #obgynsky #medsky

UK study (N=55K) finds women with endometriosis had a decrease in monthly earnings after their diagnosis. They may be taking lower-paid jobs or working fewer hours. The probability of being a paid employee also decreased 2.7%. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Research suggests that vulnerable populations are sometimes targeted by external groups who may have harmful motives. We believe it is important to talk directly to people with #Autism and their parents to learn more. Apply here: redcap.link/rowgztd7 #unmcMMI

Embedding science, innovation and research in healthcare can meaningfully improve people's lives. The UK government's ten-year plan for the National Health Service (NHS) is a great opportunity to make this happen. Our new report outlines our vision ⤵️ wellcome.org/reports/from...

Excellent advice, especially for those working in female health. #medsky #obgynsky #obgyn

So many people worked on this decades overdue initiative. And now it's wiped off the #NIH website. There is NO LEGITIMATE reason for this. Female health research has been criminally underfunded forever. This Republican admin doesn't care. Period. #femtech #obgyn orwh.od.nih.gov/white-house-...

For the 2nd year, appreciation to MedPageToday for covering the #SMFM2025 meeting and the critical new obstetrics research presented here from around the world. In the months and years to come, our medical media will become more important than ever #MedSky www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcover...

@owhnews.bsky.social @meganhunt.bsky.social Canceled study sections and interrupted or halted NIH funding could be economically disastrous for Nebraska (and all other states). It’s an important part of funding for our universities and jobs. /1 www.science.org/content/arti...

The Royal Society's Newton International Fellowships are now open for applications. These fellowships are for non-UK early career scientists who wish to conduct research in the UK. Find out more, including how to apply: #RSGrants royalsociety.org/grants/newto...

I was truly honored to be listed as one of the extraordinary reviewers for Circulation Research today. Thank for allowing me to review for the journal and I thank Steve Jones for his mentorship during my time on early career editorial board. @ahajournals.bsky.social

I am not that surprised that more women quit academic publishing than men- this chimes with data showing fewer women get their papers published, grants funded if they lead them and that more women get pushed into support roles. We do need to do more to support and mentor female staff. 🧪

There is no maternity leave for Congress. Members may not vote if not physically present at the Capitol. "This job is not made for young women, for working people, [or] for regular people." Historically older wealthy people (mostly men) have done this work. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/11/u...

Are you interested in reproductive immunology? I hope so! And if yes, be sure to submit your science and attend this year's meeting!!! It is in St. Paul, MN and will be AMAZING! theasri.org/2025-St-Paul #ASRI2025

This was a fun podcast - Choose the Bear with Kat Calvin! Listen in as Leanne Dzubinski PhD and I discuss why our book GLASS WALLS is both infuriating and helpful. open.spotify.com/episode/7hWu...

More research is needed to understand the root causes of diagnostic delays. While we await the data, can we agree that dismissing patient symptoms & normalizing period pain needs to stop, and we need to educate patients & doctors on endometriosis? www.contemporaryobgyn.net/view/persist...

Texas is blocking the review of the deaths of pregnant women post-Dobbs to hide the consequences of their deadly law. Rep. Raskin, Rep. SummerLee, Rep. Pressley and I are calling on Texas HHS to explain why they're hiding the deaths of Texas women. www.texastribune.org/2024/12/19/t...

Curious if Gal Gadot was told that pregnancy increases the risk of blood clots. If she had been told, she may not have waited so long to address her excruciating headaches. So glad this story had a happy ending. #patienteducation #doctorscantdoitall #obgyn www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Horrid is the state of female healthcare in the USA. Physicians are routinely shafted, and in the case of the repeal of #Roe, those who get the least (OBGYNs) have the most at risk. So, hospitals leave them to battle alone, while cutting their pay. #medsky #obgyn #obgynsky

Day 24 of my Texas Hates Mothers and Children Advent Calendar: No room at the inn. 60% of rural hospitals in Texas do not deliver babies, and maternal mortality increases with the distance to the nearedt hospital with obstetric services. www.texmed.org/MaternityDes...
