I tweeted about this article earlier today (h/t @cemccarthy02 for bringing it to my attention), and I wanted to take a few minutes to talk about why I liked it so much from both a scientific and scientific-communications perspective. 1/

@DagVagsnes @Pengeblogg Tilgang på prevensjon og kunnskap om å bruke den er en veldig viktig faktor her.

@Pengeblogg Hva om folk egentlig aldri har ønsket seg en mengde barn, men at vi fikk flere før pga internalisering, sikring av alderdom, økonomisk uavhengige kvinner og familieøkonomi som gav mindre overskudd til å drive med andre aktiviteter?

Er det egentlig økonomiske forhold som gjør at nordmenn lager langt færre barn enn før? Ville vi fått babyboom om barnetrygden økte til kr 10 000 hver måned? Eller ses bleier og trassalder på som hindre mot optimal selvrealisering? 🤔

1/n I am proud to present our new paper “Homologous Recombination Deficiency Across Subtypes of Primary Breast Cancer”. This is the second paper emerging from the #PETREMAC #breastcancer trial. Key take aways from this study: ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/PO…

10/10 A heartfelt thanks to all collaborators and co-workers contributing to this work. It is truly inspiring to witness all your talent and expertise at work. You all rock!

9/n Two weeks after the funeral, Reviewer 2 made me cry. «Overall, this was work well performed by an expert group, and while it is a great paper as is, I suggest a few edits(...) Major concerns: - no major concerns, there is high scientific rigor, and excellent reporting»
