This project has special meaning for me as we are partnering with the fertility clinic that did my own #IVF AND I was pregnant with IVF baby#2 when we wrote and submitted the grant!

This study identified key molecular and immunological relationships with cervicovaginal inflammation that could have important implications for reproductive health including HIV susceptibility and cervical cancer progression

Happy to share my first preprint! Delayed posting since I had a baby between manuscript submission and the preprint being posted online #AcademicMama

We found that cervical CD14+ cells were increased with increased inflammation, identified differences in bacteria and bacterial metabolism, and found relationships between inflammation and metabolites including increased xanthine with high inflammation

Me: can I have some privacy?

Preschooler: what’s that?

[Dr. Christina Farr @cfarrzuend]

Reviewing a 23 page paper with almost 250 pages of supplemental information😬

Sick preschooler using my bump as a pillow while I try to get some work done #AcademicMama 👩🏻‍💻🤰🏻

[Dr. Christina Farr @cfarrzuend]

Swabbing a preschooler for a rapid test = not fun.
But he did like "doing science" to help me set up the test and read the (negative) results

[Dr. Christina Farr @cfarrzuend]

I have a PhD in microbiology and immunology and used to make all my own agar plates for bacterial culture and viral plaque assays and I can’t get Jello to set 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[Dr. Christina Farr @cfarrzuend]

Sent my little guy to daycare in a KN95. When I got there to pick him up he had the mask pulled down to his chin so he could pick his nose 🤦🏻‍♀️

Solidarity to all the other #toddler parents that have #Encanto songs stuck in their heads after having to watch it on repeat all weekend

Forgot to post yesterday so …. Second day as an assistant professor of pathology in the Center for Global Health and Diseases @cwru 👩🏻‍💻👩🏻‍🔬🤰🏻

[Dr. Christina Farr @cfarrzuend]

Having to explain to my 3 year old that his grandparents aren’t coming to visit after Christmas because of the covid surge is just …… 😢😢😢
