Now that the study of women's 🧠 health is gaining momentum💥, I could not miss the opportunity to present a roadmap to✨advance the neuroscience of human pregnancy ✨@susanna_carmona @emilyjacobs @AnnMariedeLange & I wrote this Comment for @NatureNeuro🧵 nature.com/articles/s4159…

For Nature, women make up around 16% of corresponding authors who submit manuscripts — a percentage unchanged from 2018. Women comprise some 18% of corresponding authors who submit papers to Nature Communications and the Nature-branded research journals.

Meet the global team selected for Wellcome Leap’s $50M CARE (Cutting Alzheimer’s Risk through Endocrinology) program! Focused on reducing Alzheimer’s risk in women, CARE aims to cut the lifetime risk in half, potentially preventing over 50 million cases by 2050.

🚨Very excited to share a new paper from our lab in Neuron (@NeuroCellPress), on the influence of the estrous cycle on structural and functional plasticity in the hippocampus: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Thread below:

Unique opportunity to join our team!

A dream come true—presenting my research at my favourite conference @ParentalBrain #PB2025, in my beloved home country, Spain 🇪🇸. Through @Bowers_WBHI, I'm dedicated to fostering deeply collaborative science in the human maternal brain field. This is just the beginning!

Excited to be heading to Barcelona next week for the Parental Brain Conference! I’ll be speaking on “Promoting Big Datasets & Collaboration in Human Maternal Brain Research through @Bowers_WBHI” on Friday, May 9. Can’t wait to connect with this amazing community! 🧠👶🌍#PB2025

Biologists have built one of the most detailed pictures ever of the changes that occur in women’s bodies before and after pregnancy, by pooling and studying around 44 million physiological measurements from more than 300,000 births go.nature.com/4l3yVd5

A consequence of fewer children is less empathy for those who have them.

Durante siglos se ha creído que solo el cuerpo de las madres se preparaba para la crianza. Sin embargo, la ciencia está demostrando que el cerebro masculino también tiene su propio “modo papá”, esperando a ser activado dozz.es/d68eq2

Today marks the beginning of OpenRxiv, which replaces bioRxiv and medRxiv, the world's largest preprint platform for life and medical science @openrxiv

My lab is hiring 2 postdocs on a NIH-funded grant characterizing molecular & cellular changes in the human brain across menopausal transition. Other neuroepigenomics projects are also available. We plan to hire a wet lab scientist & a bioinformatician. Please RT! More info 👇

New paper and new preprint from the lab! Jess Minder's paper on gestational timing delays and embryonic diapause is now out in @ScienceAdvances: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Luisa Schuster's work on 24/7 behavior monitoring of family life & 'mouse midwives': biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

On #InternationalWomensDay we’re celebrating scientific breakthroughs that will improve the health and well-being of people around the globe. Like Marlena Fejzo’s discovery of the cause of severe morning sickness… (1/2)
