Researchers predict that overturning #RoeVWade will increase pregnancy-related deaths by 21%, with the greatest impact on non-Hispanic Black people (33% increase). There is a scientific basis for your outrage.

There has been very little innovation and protections put in place to help providers prescribe the correct birth control pills to individuals that need them. Shout out to @adynhealth in launching The Birth Control Test and taking a big first step - https://t.co/IF7gkXwYCB
We are thrilled to be featured in @ELLEmagazine!
"Personalized birth control is finally available: a new hormonal and genetic test could help predict birth control side effects."

@sequinlabcoat just launched The Birth Control Test.

Her scientific approach to birth control selection couldn't come at a better time...
Algorithms are built by people. Algorithmic bias represents human bias (or ignorance or apathy). De-biasing an algorithm requires acknowledgement and follow-through from the people in charge.
Reproductive rights are under attack at the US Supreme Court. So we called on Dr. Elizabeth Ruzzo (@sequinlabcoat) CEO of @adynhealth to talk to us about why “just taking birth control” is not that simple and how personalized medicine can help. Listen now!

New from Israel on booster restoration of Pfizer vaccine effectiveness across all age groups
"Across all age groups, rates of confirmed infection and severe illness were substantially lower among those who received a booster dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine"

No one should have to go through harassment, and it shouldn't be the survivors/victims the ones carrying the burden of demanding justice. But it is thanks to brave women like @paleogenomics and @ange_cibrian speaking up that things might change... 1/2
Does vaccination reduce the severity and life impact of #LongCovid? A new preprint study with 455 vaccinated individuals and 455 matched controls supports benefit at 4 months follow-up

Getting max % fully vaccinated top priority
More mitigation
Boosters ->prompt surge of antibodies, side effects in 4500 recipients were no worse, sometimes milder than 2nd shot (in 88%)
🧵1/9 Women’s health is more than reproductive health. Ignoring this fact perpetuates a medical research gap that has persisted for decades and has caused needless suffering. But how do medical research gaps happen in the first place? Here are the facts.
When Fighting Disease Becomes a Family Affair: Parents and relatives of people afflicted with genetic diseases take a leading role in advancing medical research https://t.co/pqfyulyZ0u @saratothstub
I met a scientist who was just trying to do good science.
No Nobel prize fetish.
No imposter syndrome.
No deep desire for flashy publications.
No venting about evil reviewers.
No need to gossip about other scientists.
Only doing good science.
Like a psychopath.
Started Friday off right having breakfast with @sequinlabcoat + @seanmendy + @ShaunLivingston
We covered everything from innovations to counter endemic bias in healthcare (such as @adynhealth) to raising kids in the Bay Area… The energy I needed today!
