This is horrible. You all deserve better, and the work you do is so important - our field deserves better.

This has been such a cool development for us too!! My kiddo loves to be given a “job” to do

Congrats, Neo! They’re so lucky to have you!

This is so true, but I think it might be a symptom of the larger problem - authors know that they’ll be asked for this or are encouraged by journal guidelines to describe the clinical implications of their findings and have to reach to cone up with something.

Yes! I was so excited to start it. Then that visual hit and I said NOPE and went back to streaming Food Network

I can’t help but think of the many scientific advances that have allowed my family to grow. I hope that science can withstand this administration, but fear the ways that cuts now will impact the advances my children can see in their lifetime. #StandUpForScience #CSectionAwarenessMonth

I’ve been grateful that this was an option to save my babies lives and my own life in situations that could have turned out very differently in other moments of medical history. Women’s health (and the health and well-being of so many others) is under attack.

After my first was born, I really struggled reading these kinds of things and felt a lot of shame telling people that she was born via c-section. More recently, I’ve been proud and grateful. I’ve been proud that I, just like every other mama, laid myself down and brought my babies here.

Thank you!! Contact napping while toddler parenting is a skill I fully think through cultivating, but it has been such a joy already ❤️
