Stoked to be in @TheAtlantic article by @KatherineJWu on #preeclampsia:
"...a clinical strategy that pushes forā¦long-term sexual monogamy puts medical professionals in the position of actively prescribing a veryā¦limited vision of human sexuality"

WAG BRAG! I have been leading a faculty writing accountability group (WAG) since March 2023 at @uaznursing. In a total of 76 person-hours, 7 people have worked on 18 grants, 16 publications, 3 conference abstracts, and 2 presentations, leading to great outcomes!
Reminder: @BiologicalAnth award
noms due 10/15! Nomination is a SINGLE document. One-page nom letter can be signed by multiple signatories, but additional letters of support are not necessary or encouraged. Have as many writers/signatories as you want! bioanth.org/about/awards-funā¦
Nurses/Faculty: If you or your mentees are interested in pursuing a Nursing PhD to study maternal health/pregnancy/fetal development/placenta/birth outcomes/DOHaD please consider @UAZNursing! Weāre doing some really exciting stuff (and itās a remote program so max flexibility).
Love that multiple people have sent me this. Fun whale placenta facts! They are not just a round disc that embeds in one spot in the uterus, like primatesā do. They are diffuse, which means the entire uterine surface is covered in placenta, sort of like an endocast! Also:
In the original post you can see the placenta looks kind of like a croissant. Thatās because the whale uterus is bicornuate (single vagina with 2 cervixes opening into 2 separate uterine horns) and this gorgeous placenta is shaped the same way because of its diffuse morphology.
Reminder that the deadline for @BiologicalAnth awards is October 15, 2023! Noms for Darwin (lifetime achievement), Lasker (service), and Smith (outreach) awards are ONE PAGE. Multiple letters and CVs are neither necessary nor will be considered. More here: bioanth.org/about/awards-funā¦
Additional @BiologicalAnth awards info:
1. Noms from last year automatically rollover for consideration this year.
2. ALL signatories must complete disclosure forms.

Assay kits, plate maps, validation tests, oh my! Hard to believe this study is really getting off the ground after dreaming of doing it since 2010. Many thanks to @UAZNursing for making that dream come true.
I walked into the coffee shop after Pilates and was almost about to order something when I heard the little voice say āyou have food at homeā AND I LISTENED AND WENT HOME AND FIXED MYSELF SOME FOOD.

Last year, working in Ireland, having a pint in the cold outside a Dalkey pub with some new friends, a woman with purpose strode past us. Puffy parker zipped to the nape and her bowed head covered in a scarf. One of my new friends muttered an exclamation, jumped up
