Pregnant, miserable, and starving in 21st century sciencedirect.com/science/articlā¦ Important reading for anyone who thinks "morning sickness" is a mild and transient problem of little biomedical significance. Think again. Second commonest cause of admission of pregnant women to hospital

~2% of pregnant people suffer from hyperemesis gravidarum ā severe, persistent nausea and vomiting that can be life-threatening. Last month researchers reported what causes it, so whatās next?š Grateful I could cover this essential topic for National Geographic nationalgeographic.com/premium/articlā¦

Exciting news! šOur own Marlena Fejzo and AIJIA were featured on the TODAY with Maria Shriver. #hyperemesisgravidarum #pregnancyjourney

šSEASON 3: We're kicking off the return of our podcast with Marlena Fejzo, PhD, who discusses her recent study on extreme morning sickness. Learn more about the clinical implications of her findings & why she decided to study this area of research. š·Listenš·keck.usc.edu/pphs/podcast/



Such an honor and a blast to celebrate with these amazing ladies last night! Thank you TIME ! Ada LimĆ³n , Nadia Murad , Taraji P. Henson , Andra Day , Coco Gauff , Greta Gerwig, Yael Admi, Reem Hajajreh, Jacqui Patterson, Leena Nair, and Claudia Goldin.






This HGAwarenessDay, I want thank @Time for giving us a platform with giants Halle Berry, Eli Lilly and Company Daniel Skovronsky, and moderator Alice Park to spread the word about HG and the progress we have made! Getting there with HER Foundation, @HarmoniaHealthcare, NGM Bio!


pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acā¦ Women's healthcare call for action includes HG! No FDA approved medications for a condition that causes immense suffering in 3% (or even more because it is under-diagnosed) pregnancies! Thank you Wendy Young @GoogleVentures

Amazing to see Hyperemesis Gravidarum featured on the cover of Trends in Molecular Medicine! Really touching artwork depicting the theme of my article-dispelling (literally vomiting) harmful HG myths once and for all!


Our paper on GDF15 and Pregnancy sickness PMID 38092039 has been shortlisted for a Science Breakthrough of the Year, #FallingWalls Science Summit (7-9 Nov). Great team work incl @drfejzo Sam Lockhart and many others falling-walls.com/science-summit/ @FallingWalls



Hyperemesis Gravidarum, HG, is a much more severe form of morning sickness often leading to dehydration, weight loss and other symptoms. Marlena Fejzo turned her grief into research after suffering from HG
