Over the last 7 years, our team has undertaken the largest study of disability and pregnancy in Canada. We analyzed data on ~150,000 births to people with disabilities and talked to 62 people about their experiences of pregnancy care. 1/16

The proudest moment of my life. First Exposure launches today. 4 years in the making. So incredibly proud of the entire team. “Ontario program to help expectant parents with advice on medication fills gap left by shuttered Motherisk lab” https://t.co/689BbDHwWd

Could reproductive factors like pregnancy and breastfeeding affect timing/ type of menopause experienced later in life? @erinbrennand’s research explores this question, holding promise for the early identification of early menopause. #IWD2023 ➡️

An individual’s experience of menopause appears to be influenced by experiences with breastfeeding (lactation) in younger years. Perhaps maximizing duration of breastfeeding is a strategy to improve menopausal health! @NatalieScime @AlisonShea12 @GROWW_Program @MenopauseOrg

I'm thrilled to finally share this news of my @CIHR_IRSC #Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship with @HilaryKBrown at @UTSC @ICESOntario: https://t.co/jstO9anLV0 It's an honour to receive this award & federal investment in building Canada's research capacity for #womenshealth. 🇨🇦

Spending part of this week in Winnipeg learning about #breastmilk and cohort studies from some of the best in the biz! Thank you @MeghanAzad @CHILDSTUDY for hosting me & @ISRHML for supporting this research visit.

For too long women’s health issues have neither been understood nor funded effectively. Dr. @erinbrennand is part of a team leading research and understanding in women’s health that will make #yyc a national leader. Learn more from @yyc_health: https://t.co/3v4lQ0SXmu

Next, I’m thrilled to be joining @UTSC and @ICESOntario as a Postdoctoral Fellow working with @HilaryKBrown, where I’ll be studying the impact of reproductive factors on chronic disease risk in women.

It also renewed my deep sense of responsibility and commitment as a scientist trained to study reproductive and women’s health. I’m honoured to have earned this PhD and to be part of the community working to improve and protect women’s health across the life course.

In the days leading up to my defense, the world witnessed the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn #RoeVsWade. This unconscionable attack on reproductive rights left me furious, devastated, and in disbelief.

Some news! I successfully defended my PhD thesis in Epidemiology at @UCalgary on #Breastfeeding intentions, difficulties, and outcomes in mothers with chronic health conditions. Many thanks to my supervisors, examiners, and wonderful village of family, friends, and colleagues.

Great summary of how to respond from the amazing @MarthPaynter : Roe v. Wade: Canada can respond to U.S. bans by improving access to abortion care here https://t.co/4QHgBXBNdZ via @ConversationCA

Epidemiology, beyond its limits! Check out our new paper just in time for #SER2022. https://t.co/KrQjOn1N3a Crowd-sourced by @EmoryEPI PhD students we systematically reviewed the evidence base for the 53 examples of doubtful associations cited by journalist, Gary Taubes. 🧵

I’m so excited to work with @MeghanAzad and the @CHILDSTUDY to explore what #BreastMilk composition can tell us about maternal cardiometabolic health. Thank you @ISRHML for funding our work!

And finally, join us for an engaging discussion & exciting announcements about building #WomensHealth research capacity at @UCalgary. You won't want to miss this event! Register now➡️: https://t.co/zURZdW7E7n @d_urrego @erinbrennand @AmyMetcalfePhD @LDrogosPhD

Dr. Karen Lithgow @kvlithgow, brilliant microbiologist & Postdoctoral Fellow, will detail new insights from the @sycurol group on how the vaginal #Microbiome impacts women’s sexual & reproductive health @UCalgaryIMC @SnyderInstitute
