New #article alert! In this article, we investigated the #association between women who had a #hysterectomy and medical #financial #hardship compared to women who did not have a hysterectomy—link in the comment. #healthdisparity #AcademicChatter #AcademicPublishing

I don't know who, if anyone, is advising the Prime Minister. But either
a) she is not listening to them
b) they are very stupid, or
c) they want her out.

I haven't seen the whole speech, because the government has switched the internet off. But this clip is astonishing.

[Naomi Hossain @nomhossain]

The relative restraint of the army is the only hope right now. The popular feeling is so entirely against the government and their attacks on the students, it is just astonishing that the leadership either cannot hear or does not care that they have lost all support. 🇧🇩

This. #BangladeshBleeding #Bangladesh_Under_Attack

[Dr Nasrin Khandoker @NasrinKhandoker]

Why isn't it a severe human rights violation and criminal offence to shut down the internet connection for days? Why are we normalising this trend? #Bangladesh #BangladeshBleeding

[Naomi Hossain @nomhossain]

Women & poorer regions are losers from Supreme Ct decision. But as everyone has noted, this has gone beyond demands for quota reform now. Students are demanding two ministers resign for their role in instigating violence.

🙏for restraint & resolution 🇧🇩

A quick breakdown of what’s going on in #Bangladesh and how the current #autocratic #government escalated the #violence #against #protesters.

[Nicolas Haque @nicolashaque]

⁦@nomhossain⁩ breaking it down on the unfolding crisis in Bangladesh

[Ruhun Wasata @RuhunWasata]

Thanks to @RepAOC for speaking about the ongoing civil unrest in #Bangladesh which took lives of more than 100 people. The #complete #telecommunication #blackout #disconnected Bangladesh from the entire world. We demand an #end of #blackout and #deescalation of #violence NOW.

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

Dozens of protestors have been killed by Bangladeshi authorities in recent days. My constituents cannot reach their loved ones due to a government implemented communications blackout.

I call for an end to the blackout and de-escalation of violence against protestors.

#SSSS2023 ✅
During my talk I asked my audience how many of them knew at least one person with #PCOS in their life? All, I repeat, all in a room full of 30+ people raised their hands. & that’s why we need to work more on PCOS. #chronicillness #women #research #phdlife #academia

[Ruhun Wasata @RuhunWasata]

After #APHA2023, now this is time for #SSSS2023. I’ll present my research on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and sexual health of women with PCOS living in the USA tomorrow, Sat, Nov 18, 2023. #FirstTimeAttendee #PCOS #SexualHealth #chronicillness #NOLA

[Ruhun Wasata @RuhunWasata]

It’s fascinating to see how innovative research shed lights to various aspects of sexual health and encourage discussion that otherwise we would consider taboo. @ebuhi presenting on pubic hair removal practices among men in the USA at the #SSSS2023.

[Ruhun Wasata @RuhunWasata]

Done with the #APHA2023 @APHAAnnualMtg where I presented my research on #comprehensive #support #needs of women with #PCOS. Entire APHA was a great learning experience (more on that later) Now, off to #SSSS 2023! #phdlife #AcademicTwitter #AcademicLife #conference

[Ruhun Wasata @RuhunWasata]

Stimulating talk @APHAAnnualMtg on “Building an innovating, diverse, and effective public health workforce.” Drs. @LisaCooperMD Dauphin, @DrJudyMonroe, Smith & Howard emphasized the importance of being the relentless #storyteller as a #public #health professional. #APHA2023

[Ruhun Wasata @RuhunWasata]

So excited to be attending the #APHA2023 at the @APHAAnnualMtg in Atlanta. My first time in person. I’ll be presenting my paper on comprehensive support needs among women with #PCOS living in the USA on Nov 15, 2023.

[Ruhun Wasata @RuhunWasata]

Attended #PCOSCON2023 arranged by #PCOSAA in New York. #PCOS Awareness Association did a great job bringing diverse folks together who are working on PCOS, ranging from raising awareness to #holistic #treatment. Learned many things from all those PCOS professionals.

[Ruhun Wasata @RuhunWasata]

Happy to share that I have been #awarded the Santosh Jain Endowed Memorial Scholarship 2023-24. This annual university-wide competitive #scholarship is awarded to one South Asian contributing to a #hard-to-reach population. Thanks to @IU_AHS and @luguerrareyes for their support.

Today is #WorldPCOSDay and the start of the #PCOSAwarenessMonth. The motto for the #PCOS awareness month is to have more empowered patients that will lead to better outcomes. Be a light of support and advocacy for PCOS. Tell your #PCOSstory and listen to others!

[PCOS Challenge @pcoschallenge]

During #WorldPCOSDay & Week 1 of #PCOSAwarenessMonth, we highlight the importance of support and advocacy in improving the lives of patients. Navigating #PCOS can be overwhelming, but you're not alone. At @pcoschallenge, we are here to support you and advocate for your needs...

[Ruhun Wasata @RuhunWasata]

It hit home this morning when Dr. @ElizabethCDunn said the key to finish a Ph.D. is to know how to manage anxiety! We don’t see when we’re at the program that managing our emotional health is vital! I’ve decided I’ll not let my #PhD stress me! #AcademicChatter #phdlife
