Back from an inspiring #ESHRE2026! Loved to see colleagues & dear friends, to discuss the latest scientific discoveries in the field, to have enriching debates and also to party! To the next year, @eshre.bsky.social

Lancet study refutes claim of a link between Tylenol and autism

We live in a rapidly and profoundly changing world. Happy New Year to those never tired of figuring it out! 🥂

I'm still here. In the last months I developed an insanely hyper-focused interest in reading evidence based research on parenting. It served me to remember that not everything published is good/applicable/full picture. Good reminder for my actual work too.

Happy #BreastfeedingWeek! I wish a world where everyone would receive sound evidence-based breastfeeding advice instead of crappy opinions

Back here to say I'm headed to Sweden a couple of days for an exciting new project and this is the first time I travel without my child! Huge milestone (for me). Bittersweet, but necessary moment. Love this with all its difficulties.

For my 1st #mothersday I got an ill child (hence a difficult night and day + not the present I wanted -my husband to take photos of us- because of the illness) and tomorrow I'm supposed to start working full time again. And somehow I'm more happy and at peace than I ever was in the last few years 😧

To keep it real: scientist-moms days aren't only filled with inspiring conferences + baby's cuddles at night. Sometimes you have days like today, full of bureaucratic obstacles to overcome when returning to work, difficult planning, emails not answered and baby screaming for no reason 😅

My 👶 is 3 months, exclusively breastfed. She is learning all things fast, but still very much a baby. I'm doing research + teach my lectures, but feel 100% not ready for clinics today. Happy to have the chance to take a couple more months, but I think we should rethink maternity leave better

I'm nap-trapped under my daughter. I would like to work or read, but both computer and book are too far away. I'm left with checking mails. Nothing makes you adapt like a baby. Bye 👋

This. And the need for additional explanations. "Dairy" "Ok, so you can't eat eggs!" 🤦🏻‍♀️ But why? Why do people think that wheat and eggs contain milk and cheese doesn't?

My experience with the ESHRE journal club greatly exceeded the expectations I had when I funded it 5 years ago. It is among the most significant of my career so far! I'm excited about new #ESHRE members having this opportunity! www.eshre.eu/Publications...

I'm amazed by the science of #breastfeeding. And baffled we do not really study it & instead approach it with tales and superstitions. In which other areas of science are evidence so undermined?

#Contraception use in cancer patients and survivors is frequently suboptimal due to incomplete/absent counseling. There is no informed choice without information! Here we review the evidence and propose a pathway www.dovepress.com/contraceptio... #survivorship

Leaving my daughter with grandparents for the first time to attend the thesis defence 🎓 of the student I supervised! Feeling excited but also.. like I miss a piece? Is that being a mother? (I also panic-pumped at 3 am to leave an extra stash of milk in case those in the freezer weren't enough 😂)

In a leap of enthusiasm, I decided maternity leave was the perfect moment to read Musil's Man Without Qualities. Because doing two hard things is better than just one? I so recognise that #Europe, one century later. And my daughter thinks it's perfect to rest her feed while nursing #winwin #booksky
