Happy #BreastfeedingWeek! I wish a world where everyone would receive sound evidence-based breastfeeding advice instead of crappy opinions

Back here to say I'm headed to Sweden a couple of days for an exciting new project and this is the first time I travel without my child! Huge milestone (for me). Bittersweet, but necessary moment. Love this with all its difficulties.

For my 1st #mothersday I got an ill child (hence a difficult night and day + not the present I wanted -my husband to take photos of us- because of the illness) and tomorrow I'm supposed to start working full time again. And somehow I'm more happy and at peace than I ever was in the last few years 😧

To keep it real: scientist-moms days aren't only filled with inspiring conferences + baby's cuddles at night. Sometimes you have days like today, full of bureaucratic obstacles to overcome when returning to work, difficult planning, emails not answered and baby screaming for no reason 😅

The science community here is very nicely growing 🦋
Yesterday in Nature. A new place for science 👌

My 👶 is 3 months, exclusively breastfed. She is learning all things fast, but still very much a baby. I'm doing research + teach my lectures, but feel 100% not ready for clinics today. Happy to have the chance to take a couple more months, but I think we should rethink maternity leave better

I'm nap-trapped under my daughter. I would like to work or read, but both computer and book are too far away. I'm left with checking mails. Nothing makes you adapt like a baby. Bye 👋

This. And the need for additional explanations.

"Dairy" "Ok, so you can't eat eggs!" 🤦🏻‍♀️
But why? Why do people think that wheat and eggs contain milk and cheese doesn't?
I get tired of always having to explain my food allergies, I wish there was a giant colored bandana I could just wear around my neck sometimes so I ppl would know and I wouldn’t have to remember to ask every time I eat out 😅

My experience with the ESHRE journal club greatly exceeded the expectations I had when I funded it 5 years ago. It is among the most significant of my career so far! I'm excited about new #ESHRE members having this opportunity! www.eshre.eu/Publications...

Now that I'm approaching what probably is the last festive period of my working life without being on call, my thoughts to all the wonderful colleagues spending the holidays far from home to guarantee our health 🎄🏥

Happy to reach 100 followers on here 🔵!

It may seem not much, but I'm overjoyed to start building again a curated feed and to see inspiring posts from colleagues instead of fake news and paid promotion ✨

We've known since the 1918 pandemic that #influenza is dangerous to pregnant people.

There's a recently published meta analysis of avian / H5 influenza in pregnancy. Maternal mortality was 90 %.

I'm amazed by the science of #breastfeeding. And baffled we do not really study it & instead approach it with tales and superstitions. In which other areas of science are evidence so undermined?

#Contraception use in cancer patients and survivors is frequently suboptimal due to incomplete/absent counseling. There is no informed choice without information!

Great resource for teaching 👇
Yesterday, two different people emailed me gracious notes about how they'd used some of my course materials to teach Scientific Writing. I'm happy to have made some folks' jobs a bit easier! And if you'd like my course materials too, here you go:
