Lab’s 1st preprint! Menstruation is understudied due to societal taboos + a biological challenge: mice (a key system for research + drug discovery) don’t menstruate. @cagricevrim.bsky.social made menstruating mice + used them to discover early events in menstruation. He is on the job market!

REVIEW: Studying ovarian aging and its health impacts: modern tools and approaches By Bérénice A. Benayoun, Alison Kochersberger, and Jennifer L. Garrison ➡️ genesdev.cshlp.org/content/39/1... @bbparis1984.bsky.social @jennifergarrison.bsky.social #reproductiveaging #ovary #aging #womenshealth

Our lab at Yale @yalemedicine.bsky.social seeks #postdocs with in vivo expertise to pioneer research at the intersection of tissue remodeling & aging. Work with us to uncover immunological & vascular drivers of ovarian aging, applying single-cell, spatial omics, and ML! jobrxiv.org/job/yale-uni...

AFAR congratulates grantees @denadubal.bsky.social, and @jennifergarrison.bsky.social for being included in Women’s Health Magazine’s first ever Top 20 Women Longevity Experts list. More:

The Wall Street Journal recently highlighted AFAR grantees @denadubal.bsky.social, @jennifergarrison.bsky.social and @jamienjustice.bsky.social in a feature on pioneering women advancing aging research. Read the full article here: www.wsj.com/health/welln...

"continue to scream..., about children dying of starvation..., about masked ICE agents..., about institutions capitulating to fascists, about cuts to foreign aid..., about unnecessary and damaging tariffs, about the lack of justice for rapists... We must keep screaming, giving up is not an option."

Excited to see this new review piece that we wrote together with Jennifer Garrison and Alison Kochersberger on the modern tools and approaches to study #ovarian #aging out this week at @genesdev.bsky.social! genesdev.cshlp.org/content/earl... #GeroSky #WomensHealth 🧪🧬 A 🧵1/3

Update: I was just able to leave a comment and others report similar. The option seems to be coming and going, worth checking a few times!

Please read and submit comments!! People without scientific training should not be assessing the merit of grants or grant funding! Making these political appointments prevents functional continuity that our federal agencies need to be successful. This is critical!

My father-in-law, Jack Strominger, and I wrote a letter to the @wsj.com editor about the current threats to science due to Trump's funding freeze. Please repost! www.wsj.com/opinion/scie...

📣TAKE ACTION!🚨 We’re calling on universities to stand up for academic freedom. Harvard just said NO to federal overreach, and we’re asking others to do the same. Sign our open letter, and join the movement to defend the future of science and higher ed: sciforgood.org/support-acad...

The administration took down the reproductive rights website that women need access to. So The Skimm bought a url and brought the content back. Pass this on! Go to reproductiverightsdotgov.com

I’m going to go throw up until I’m inside out does anyone need anything

Here, through whole animal scRNA-seq, neuropeptidomics, and genetic screens awesome post-doc, Carrie Sheeler, answers those questions! Thank you collaborators @jennifergarrison.bsky.social 's lab and Kenyon lab!

🚨 PhD Opportunity! 🚨 Passionate about ovarian biology? This cutting-edge PhD project combines live-cell microscopy & biophysical modelling to explore the dynamic ovary! 🧬🔬 I'm happy to chat more—DM or email me to set up a Zoom call 📩 And please share! 🙌🏼 [email protected]

Great article @timemagazine.bsky.social on delaying #menopause. Thanks to the Buck’s Dr. Jennifer Garrison @jennifergarrison.bsky.social on for highlighting the need to preserve #ovarian function for women’s overall health. time.com/7264207/can-... #womenshealth

This is amazing 😍😍 @500womensci.bsky.social has made cards for each state on funding for NSF and NIH avail for download bit.ly/NSF_bystate & bit.ly/NIH_bystate if they are helpful for folks

Sussing the Future at XPRIZE —with Neil deGrass Tyson, Peter Diamandis, Jennifer Garrison, Daniel Kraft, and Erik Lindbergh By David Ewing Duncan @xprize.bsky.social with @neildegrassetyson.com @jennifergarrison.bsky.social @peterdiamandiss.bsky.social @eriklindberg.bsky.social

This is a quote that haunts me to this day. I am one of those people who thought I was never held back by identifying as woman. That is, until I hit that ceiling and was. It's the late promotion, it's the questioned raise, it's the missed citation, it's the ignored contribution. It is so pervasive

Once more for reviewers in the back: sex differences in behavioral outcomes are very often NOT a product of the estrous cycle and demanding that scientists build estrous metrics into experimental design only shows your own biases about how females (but not males) are primarily hormone-driven.

A thread on NIH Reorganization and the Scientific Management Review Board (SMRB) Disclosure: I was involved with the SMRB since its inception and have very strong feelings about how it was used, misused, and abandoned. My passion on these issues will undoubtably show through. 1/n
