My nonlinear journey to parenthood has fueled a deep passion for supporting reproductive health startups.
Grateful to @ayacancode and @Forbes for the opportunity to shed light on the latest trends in the vital but often overlooked male fertility space.

As usual, @lesliejz nails it with her piece on why itβs challenging to build in womenβs health. Like her, I also see ample opportunity on the horizon, not to mention massive upside for investors willing to think outside the box.
I love working in women's health and deeply believe in its potential. But I'm saying the quiet part out loud: we must acknowledge the problems before we can solve them.

@alexisohanian@nucleusgenomics We must be careful not to let genomic reports create a false sense of fear. Said differently, a 1.7% chance of Celiac is really a 98.3% chance you donβt need to worry. Reports should include interpretive thresholds and ranges - information is power, but noise can be very chaotic
Iβm on the hunt for research and startups working on ways to slow ovarian aging and delay menopause.

According to the AAMC, the US will face a shortage of 86,000 physicians by 2036, so news like this makes my day. ππ»ππ»ππ» @MikeBloomberg

A new study found popular brands of tampons may contain toxic metals, such as lead and arsenic.
Metals were detected in both organic and non-organic tampons, with lead concentrations being higher in non-organic products and arsenic higher in organic ones. https://t.co/v6pEUmSzCX
The supplement industry and lack of regulation scares me.
Confused how melatonin can be marketed to children if we donβt know the long-term side effectsβ¦ and how do we not know more about a product that has been available since the mid-90s?

This type of creativity is rare in tourism ads these days, most of which blend into each other. This is different, a typical understated Norse sense of dry humor. From @VisitOSLO. Well done, more needed in this series.
Officially banning this version of Wheels on the Bus from my household and wondering why they sing it at every class I take my children to? ππ πΌββοΈ @cocomelonkids
Changing your mind is not a sign of losing integrity. It's often a mark of gaining wisdom.
Realizing you were wrong doesn't mean you lack judgment. It means you lacked knowledge.
Opinions are what you think today. Growth comes from staying open to revising your views tomorrow.

Since I canβt make it to @HLTHEVENT (sadly same week as @SlushHQ), Iβm planning to hold healthcare founder office hours November 29th and 30th. Which startups looking for angel funding should I chat with?
Fertility is not just femtech. About 40% of infertility issues stem from the manβs side of the equation. Great to see Mojo making a splash in the UK market in partnership with @superdrug to offer discrete at-home sperm testing. Knowledge = power. https://t.co/mTqemgwYLG
