"The academic structure … makes planning for a family feel like an impossible luxury." In this #ScienceWorkingLife, two postdocs share how, as women in academia, having children can feel impossible—and how talking about it makes them feel less alone. scim.ag/3Dv0FGn #WomenInScienceDay

As we come to the end of the year, I want to say how proud I am of everything we’ve achieved together. This year hasn’t been without its challenges but through it all, your hard work, resilience, and support have truly stood out. #WomensHealth @UTS_Science @UTSResearch

Wonderful to see this international study published especially given how common #ozempic and #wegovy are amongst women of reproductive age. Given the weight catch-up, controlled diet led to better overall placental health. mdpi.com/journal/cells/… @UTS_Science @UTSResearch
