Our recent paper on AMH and birth control (BC) was published in @FertStert. Together with @profscottnelson, Ben Ewing, and Piotr Gromski, we investigated differences in AMH levels between people currently using various BC methods, and those who weren't.

It's such fun to work with amazing people, do cool science, and contribute in ways that help other women and people with ovaries. Check out the paper here (and stick it to elsevier — the paper is free for the next 50 days using this link): sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

It’s a real failure of the system when couples unknowingly give birth to babies with single gene disorders. The testing is widely available and it’s cheap! I will never get over the fact that this is not more widely done.

The article in Nature is well done but I particularly appreciated the nuance in this thread. Must read on the challenges in implementing with PGT-P (I admit I just learned this acronym today!)
Ewan Birney@ewanbirney

I broadly agree with this piece by Nature about embryo selection on PRS (basically, it's not sound, and shouldn't be allowed but different regulation is in effect setting different bars for "scientifically sound") but I want to double stress one thing >> #Echobox=1663865747" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/d4158…

An AMH reference range derived from healthy Indian women, strikingly different from White Europeans or Indian infertility patients. Now we know what normal looks like for India 🇮🇳 👍thanks to Padma Rekha Jirge and team in Kolhapur and @DGromski doi.org/10.1016/j.rbmo…

@RoxanaDaneshjou I loved The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. It’s a really tough read (domestic violence) but I loved it. A super fun book is Priory of the Orange Tree - it’s fantasy and like a feminist game of thrones (but with fewer deaths).

I need to use up my Audible credits. So what is a book that has stayed with you, changed your mind, or taught you something new?
