Sex at birth may not be purely random, according to a new @ScienceAdvances study.

Instead, each family’s likelihood of having only male or only female children is a “weighted coin toss” influenced by maternal age and genetics. https://t.co/msMvLfLuuz

You may never see one, but a bristle worm might help you or a loved one in the future. Their bristles have cells with protrusions that act like a 3D printer, and could help scientists better understand how cells regenerate. 🔗 https://t.co/8uBWZ2y97v
