New issue of Deutsche Hebammen Zeitschrift (German #Midwife Journal) featuring #newborn screening and maternal #thyroid function, including my article. I hope it helps raising the awareness of thyroid in #pregnancy! @uniluebeck.bsky.social @eur-thyroid-j.bsky.social @esendocrinology.bsky.social

🥳 Score! According to the most recent #ScholarGPS rankings, we are the most productive #thyroid hormone researchers in the past 5 years! Also Top 10 for total ranking (out of 8429). I just wish random rankings in narrow fields of expertise would immediately result in more 💰💰
