Six months since we've had an in person lab meeting. It's been really tough! Thankful to still have our virtual meetings but even more excited that some lab activities are re-starting (albeit masked and distanced)! Look at my lovely colleagues & our updated lab photos! #missthem

My firstborn was a preemie. I was Chief resident on a busy OB rotation working nights and 80 hours a week. Your doctors sacrifice so much to care for you!

“We know from non-pregnant populations that shift work and long working hours have some adverse health effects, but I was shocked at the magnitude of the effects on pregnant women we saw in our analysis." @Abi_Rimmer talks to the author of a new study https://t.co/du99fpbSTM

[Margie Davenport, PhD @ExercisePreg]

A pleasure speaking with @bmj_latest about our work examining the effects of shift work & long working hours on health outcomes during pregnancy. Thanks for highlighting! We need to drive more research into this critical area to inform policy.@CaiSissi @Abi_Rimmer @AJOG_thegray

“During night shift work, the day is flipped, and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of delivery." #Pregnancy #Pregnant #Mothers #Health #ChildrensHealth #ChildBirth #Parenting https://t.co/uC1ODhhePi
