For my @Medscape column this week I dug into this study, which, ugh, once again, makes me feel guilty about letting my kids use screens. (Thread).

Some good news from the captive breeding program at Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary in Indonesia: after 8 lost pregnancies, mother Rosa gave birth to a female Sumatran rhino. The program aims to someday reintroduce these animals to the wild. #biom4110

Had an awesome time at the Toronto Zoo yesterday. Was so cool to get to see some of the behind the scenes work that goes on to keep all these species healthy. Special thanks to Gabriela Mastromonaco, Prof. Madan, and all the zoo volunteers for making this trip so great! #biom4110
A woman I know was told she could only be sterilized “with her husbands permission”, she is not married and does not plan on ever having children #biom4110#reproductivehealth
Here’s a new study on masking in schools.
It will confirm or refute your biases. Can you read it fairly, knowing this in mind? I can try.

Women of reproductive age are considered at lower risk for severe covid-19 than other age and sex groups, but this is not the case for young women with poly-cystic ovarian syndrome (pcos). Read the journal below to hear why! #PCOS#biom4110

Yesterday Caroline and I discussed the methods and ethics of mitochondrial replacement therapy. We know it is an effective way to stop women with pathological mitochondrial mutations from passing these mutations to their offspring, so why all the controversy?

@carapilgrim_ I think this is such a great option. Being able to extend the viability of your eggs seems like something that could relieve a lot of stress for women looking to have children a little bit later in life (as many now do). #biom4110
Great guest lecture from Dr. Tayade today. We learned that placenta accreta is the abnormal invasion of chorionic villi into the myometrium. This journal outlines it’s diagnosis and some common complications. #biom4110
