New research in @JAMANetworkOpen led by @susannamitro @mhedders @KPDOR @kpnorcal and @PermanenteDocs @UCDavisHealth colleagues suggests tie between #uterine #fibroids and #hypertension.

I’m excited to share our @NICHD_NIH research on #PFAS and #fibroids .

PFAS were linked with changes in fibroid volume during pregnancy, but not fibroid presence or #.

Maybe PFAS can influence existing fibroids but don’t cause new ones?

New fibroid paper 💡

We asked: Do fibroids affect fetal growth?

Pregnancies w/ fibroids had:
👶 babies that were NOT smaller, even tho large/multiple fibroids raise PTB risk
🧑no inc. cesarean or PPH risk

Ever wonder what’s going on with fibroids during pregnancy? 🤔

Check out our work using repeated ultrasounds to describe how fibroids change across pregnancy in ~250 people ☺️

Way too excited for our first forecast snow of the winter!! 🥳

[Capital Weather @capitalweather]

JUST IN: National Weather Service upgrades DC and surrounding counties to WINTER STORM WARNING Monday; now forecasts 4-8" of snow.

Dr. Catherino started his talk on uterine fibroids at @NIH_ORWH #healthofwomen2021 with some depressing statistics about population impact vs NIH funding for topics in ‘women’s health’

[Susanna Mitro @susannamitro]

@VeronicaEpi Agree with the other advice here! I also tried to think of a couple of projects to pitch that were specific to the overlap between my interests and the mentor's interests/resources.

@cardenaasca @annebozack @CMarsit @hannah_laue @RHoody92 It was my first time co-chairing a session! Thank you to @CMarsit and the speakers— it’s easy to discuss such interesting work 😊

[Susanna Mitro @susannamitro]

@mydz_C @OppenheimerAnna @adjani_peralta @HarvardEnvHlth @HarvardEpi @ISEE_global Couldn’t agree more!! Maybe next year we can party in Athens 😉

[Susanna Mitro @susannamitro]

If you, like me, had no clue about your #ISEE2021 virtual platform password, you can get it sent to you via the e-poster gallery link 😅

Looking forward to the meeting!!

[Susanna Mitro @susannamitro]

I just submitted my first application for a tenure-track job!

I'm sure there will be plenty more applications in my future but I'm happy to have taken this step 🤓

[Susanna Mitro @susannamitro]

Working out after writing job market materials has me pondering what peloton instructors say in their teaching statements 🚴🏼‍♀️

@louisahsmith Congratulations!!! Enjoy your well deserved break! 🎉

Today is my immunity day! 🥳
I’m 2 weeks past my second shot.

As a colleague said on a call this morning, “Party time!” 😉

[Susanna Mitro @susannamitro]

My last dissertation paper (on metabolomics & #PFAS) was published!

Have you ever wondered how PFAS exposure might lead to metabolic changes (esp. incident diabetes)?

We found a bunch of potentially altered metabolites to explore 🤓

[DPP Research Group @DPPResearchGrp]

PFAS exposure raises risk of developing #T2DM, but the mechanism isn’t clear. Our work links #PFAS, esp. Sb-PFOA, with levels of metabolites (BCAAs, TAGs, DAGs & more) that predict future T2DM. These may mediate the PFAS/T2DM association. @susannamitro https://t.co/JIl3vQQSrs

@LindsayJaacks @HarvardChanSPH Thanks!

@louisahsmith @Epi_Joy I fully believe @Epi_Joy gave an excellent talk, and I am thrilled she has joined twitter!!
