What do demographers know about sex and sexual behavior and fertility? Melinda Mills is opening the second day of the 3rd @HFDatabase Symposium with a keynote on the socioeconomics of sexual and reproductive behavior. @melindacmills@NuffieldCollege@sociogenome#fertility
How many times have you heard from a friend or family member to “just relax?”
Probably more times than you would like. In a recent study shared via @NewsMedical, they provide insight that the emotional state is not related to success of treatment. https://t.co/usQuN9Fhtq
Fantastic panel tonight on the nuances of #DNA genotyping - it REALLY matters where the data comes from + how much is used to map your ancestry, determine genetic likelihood of disease, etc. Would you open Pandora’s DNA box? #thegreatdebate@morethanadodo@UniofOxford
Genetic testing is becoming ever more mainstream: A new poll from @NPR finds nearly 1/3 of Americans have considered getting a genetic test. https://t.co/8FtkkfR5uk

New research into PCOS shows "the syndrome may be triggered before birth by excess exposure in the womb to a hormone called anti-Müllerian hormone." These findings open up new avenues for research & treatment #PCOS#infertility#pregnancy#rethinkfertility https://t.co/O3Zs0hA1K7
What is the right language of support/solidarity surrounding #infertility & #miscarriage? If in doubt, at least say “I really don’t know what to say” be present/listen/be brave enough to sit in it/try not to fix it or shift conversation @Saltwater_Honey#WednesdayWisdom
@Laura_Spoelstra speaking to the cash cows associated with #infertility - who gets that 💰?? It’s often fertility clinics... This is mirrored by DNA genotyping services that sell data for drug development - the profits from which never get back the donors :( #fertilityfightclub
Such truth @GeetaNargund .. AND emerging sociogenomic research reveals new genetic predictors of fertility are frequently tied to sperm motility & health - this could change the game for fertility drugs! #FertilityFightClub#fertilityawareness#FertilityFest18 https://t.co/otlZuPWKtg
Looking forward to ‘#Awkward: The Language of Fertility’ session! Language is the fabric of culture - the words we put to ideas play such a major role in the way we understand fertility in society #rethinkfertility#fertilityfest @Frau_Deutsch_ @FertilityFest@wellcometrust
