Blockbuster paper here!

Privatisation of hospitals internationally does NOT produce real improvements in patient care.

Some evidence of innovation and improved access. BUT

Interesting new study on how different #breastmilk feeding methods (e.g. at the breast vs pumping) affect the 🌟mother's🌟 immune system and its circadian rhythms.

Super interesting!

Gave a talk about BEGIN: 40min to share 2yrs of work by 50+ experts 🥴

Creating it reminded me what a fantastic collection this is, summarizing knowledge & identifying gaps.

Highly recommend for #humanmilk & #lactation researchers of all stages!

'Appropriately paced microbiota functional & metabolic development are crucial' - and #breastfeeding is the pacemaker!
