I’d love to engage on this topic more, so if you’re interested, please reach out!

We could and should be doing so much more with data that are already available. Federally funded data assets are truly ripe for facilitation of rapid innovation, but how to operationalize that? Many nuances to consider here, but a few of my initial thoughts can be found here.

In this new article, @Kath_Gavin and Karin Eisinger present a solution to the challenge of health data connectivity as an essential part of a unified data initiative to achieve the goals and needs of federally funded programs.

Digital technologies are primed to provide opportunities to reduce costs, modernize the participant experience, and streamline the use of existing health data in clinical trials, facilitating research innovation and insights at scale and across healthcare and public health.

Just because something is challenging does not make it acceptable to ignore. In fact, I’d argue it often means it is something even more worthy of innovation and pursuit. Bravo to those taking this long overlooked issue head on and into the conversation it deserves! /end

Excellent deep dive into the importance of prioritizing midlife health in women. Many points worth further discussion! 1/

“The Change” We Need in Midlife Women’s Health https://t.co/VExE188kNB

This sentiment is eerily similar to the excuses made for years rationalizing the exclusion of women from clinical trials…menstrual cycles and changing hormones made women “too difficult” to study. 3/

@BotanicalMito Amazing news, Amy! Congratulations!!!

@KristenBoylePhD @BeccaForight @AltAcChats Thanks for suggesting me! I actually shared the announcement for this workshop at a career related seminar I gave for grad students at CSU on Friday!

The female reproductive lifecycle is full of windows of opportunity into predicting ones future health. Are we doing enough to utilize this information in preventive care and chronic disease risk education? (I suspect not...)

[Kathleen Gavin @Kath_Gavin]

Add menstrual cycle regularity and length to the list of potential 'vital signs' for future cardiovascular health outcomes in females.

✅ Men should not be forgotten in the fertility care journey
✅ Modifiable lifestyle factors play an important role in reproductive health for both men and women
✅Menopause could serve as a stress test for future health (similar to pregnancy).

Although I’ve studied women’s health for over 10 years I’ve never attended @ReprodMed…until this year! I was impressed with the breadth and quality of the content and felt lucky to be able to have the opportunity present our work! #ASRM2022 1/

✅ Donor conceived people deserve a voice in the ART discussion
✅ There is no such thing as anonymous sperm/egg/embryo donation
✅ Parents of donor conceived people need to have a plan for how and when they will discuss this with their children 3/

These startups are trying to reach communities often marginalized in healthcare. Here's how they do it
