Thanks @voxdotcom and @netflix for featuring our pregnancy biomechanics work on Sex, Explained. I love how mechanics opens and closes the segment on childbirth - episode 5. #biomechanics #simulations #engineering #womenshealth
The cervix is an "anatomical and engineering miracle." @CUSEAS Prof. Kristin Myers and Dr. Joy-Sarah Vink of @ColumbiaMed lead long-overdue research into childbirth. Catch them in this episode of @Netflix & @voxdotcom's Sex, Explained: https://t.co/JwJhNsBT9J

Excited to share my final paper as a postdoc with @NUDuncanLab, now on BioRxiv! Grateful to @GCRLE1 for funding this high-risk project and for fostering a network of reproductive biologists working on ovarian aging https://t.co/ZxYCRhmUPt

The @melissa_skala @OMM_lab is part of a collaboration to improve methods to study and prevent preterm birth outcomes. Read about their novel imaging method in this piece written for The @ConversationUS.
theconversation.com
How and why preterm birth happens is still unclear, in part because research on pregnancy tends to focus on developmental biology.
Why are babies born prematurely? Researchers still don’t really know. But this team of scientists is building the tools to study preterm birth better

Check out our publication in @JBMEjournal! We analyzed seven years of @SB3Corg abstracts, revealing gaps in sex inclusivity in biomechanics research.
#newinJBME Seven years of data from @SB3Corg abstracts revealed persistent gaps in sex inclusivity in biomechanics and mechanobiology research, with half of female-only studies including a justification versus only 2% of male-only studies. @RR_Amini

What an incredible workshop indulging in solid mechanics across fields! Thank you for organizing.
Spent three incredible days learning about how fracture impacts various problems in nature and industry and the latest advances through experimentation, simulation, and AI! Thanks to all speakers and PCTS co-organizers @abigail_plummer @moini_reza, John Kolinski, Andrej Kosmrlj.

Bonnie Discepolo participated in an clinical trial examining possibly delaying menopause to improve health outcomes. She hopes it gives women more agency.
