Live Q&A with #humanmilk and #breastfeeding researchers!🧑🏽‍🔬

📆 FRIDAY 12-5PM EST 📆

In honor of #WBW2025, some colleagues and I are doing a Q&A on Reddit! We had SO much fun doing this last year that we are coming back to answer more of your burning boobquiries!

Put it in your calendar!
A flyer with an off-white background and an orange logo that is a mashup of the Reddit alien logo and the universal breastfeeding sign. This year, the alien mama has a little green leaf on her antenna in honor of this year's theme, which is sustainable systems. In one corner is this year's World Breastfeeding Week logo, which is an abstract line drawing of two parents and an infant, drawn in rainbow colored lines. It has a green arrow zooming around the family. In the background of the image is a splash of milk, captured mid-splash. You should know that it is very difficult to find a good, useable image of a splash of milk that is in the correct proportions. The flyer copy says: In celebration of WORLD BREASTFEEDING WEEK WE ARE LACTATION SCIENTISTS: ASK US ANYTHING! ("ask us anything" has a little speech bubble around it) FRIDAY, 8/1 12-5PM EST reddit.com/AskScience A public Q&A session with human milk and breastfeeding researchers from: biochemistry biological anthropology clinical nursing research epidemiology family medicine immunology neonatology lactation medicine microbiology molecular biology
