[Dr. Ann Olivarius @AnnOlivarius]

On average men were diagnosed in 3 months. Women in 2 years.

Women's auto-immune diseases aren't trickier.

But doctors afford women less epistemological authority.
Women are simply considered less trustworthy, even, especially, about themselves.

None of this year's science Nobel Prizes have gone to women.

The number of these prizes to go to women remains at 27 out of more than 600.

It has long been recognized that millions of women, especially younger women, are disproportionately affected by pain disorders.

In a new #ScienceReview, researchers synthesize recent advances in understanding these conditions. https://t.co/XKFCWzLxFo

Historically, medical research has relied heavily on male participants, with findings often generalized to women and children.

If women’s health is discussed at all, it’s largely framed around reproduction.

This special issue of Science highlights the research that is seeking to close the critical gaps in women’s health. Learn more: https://t.co/MQDsxJ4dUq

When my colleagues and I started digging around in CDC data on pregnancy-related deaths, we noticed something surprising: the rate of ectopic pregnancy deaths had more than doubled in recent years. Nearly 200 women died between 2020 and 2025.

So we set out to learn why 🧵

#OnThisDay in 1963, a bomb planted by the Ku Klux Klan ripped through 16th Street Baptist Church killing four little girls. The tragedy marked the third bombing in 11 days in Birmingham, Alabama following the federal order of Alabama school integration. #ANationsStory

To treat an ectopic pregnancy, which is almost never viable, doctors must terminate it.

But medical providers are hesitating or flat-out refusing to do that in states where they face criminal penalties for performing an abortion, lawsuits allege.

New: Our analysis found that from 2020 to 2025, the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies nearly doubled compared with the previous six-year period. The uptick was steeper in states with abortion bans. https://t.co/GQjONCwbyp

couple recent and interesting heat-related papers:

on hot days/shortly thereafter, chicago ER/urgent care visits increase for more than the usual heat-related diagnoses, including conditions earlier studies may have missed/misclassified

across neighborhoods death rates moved with year-to-year changes in tree cover...places that added canopy had fewer deaths, and hotter south and west side tracts that were losing trees had higher death rates

Do you like birds? Do you like maps? Do you like birds AND maps??

I made maps for every species in the US, showing where they've been recorded, and how recently, at the county level. Check it out! #birds
