@alexbolze @ro Thank you!

Our recent paper on AMH and birth control (BC) was published in @FertStert. Together with @profscottnelson, Ben Ewing, and Piotr Gromski, we investigated differences in AMH levels between people currently using various BC methods, and those who weren't.

It's such fun to work with amazing people, do cool science, and contribute in ways that help other women and people with ovaries.

Check out the paper here (and stick it to elsevier — the paper is free for the next 50 days using this link): https://t.co/IRyVhvR9gF

@BortolettoMD @FertStert I thought for sure that was a typo. And I was wrong!

It’s a real failure of the system when couples unknowingly give birth to babies with single gene disorders. The testing is widely available and it’s cheap! I will never get over the fact that this is not more widely done.

Sunny Bałwani just got sentenced to 155 months in prison (12 years and 11 months).

@EleniJaswa @airfrance No!!! That’s devastating. I’m so sorry that happened.

[Dr. Sharon Briggs @SharonsScience]

@BUPRESTOStudy This is awesome! What type of information will now be collected through the blood test?

[Dr. Sharon Briggs @SharonsScience]

The article in Nature is well done but I particularly appreciated the nuance in this thread. Must read on the challenges in implementing with PGT-P (I admit I just learned this acronym today!)

[Ewan Birney @ewanbirney]

I broadly agree with this piece by Nature about embryo selection on PRS (basically, it's not sound, and shouldn't be allowed but different regulation is in effect setting different bars for "scientifically sound") but I want to double stress one thing >>

@profscottnelson @DGromski Love this work and the graphs 😉 congrats!

@RoxanaDaneshjou I loved The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. It’s a really tough read (domestic violence) but I loved it. A super fun book is Priory of the Orange Tree - it’s fantasy and like a feminist game of thrones (but with fewer deaths).

@cupofjovaries @EricTopol @Nature @CellCellPress @guardianscience @talia_shirazi In mice 😉

I kid (a little) but it’s definitely exciting.
