Wow! A fantastic article on how much (cis) women’s care has to learn from trans care: “If the goal of menopause care [is] to allow [women] to live their fullest life, providers would do well to borrow some insights from a field that has been doing just that for decades.”

Completely agree with the views in this The New York Times Rachel E. Gross piece about "failure to thrive" having outlived its usefulness. Patients benefit from precise diagnoses and the comprehensive investigations that would support them. Next up: "idiopathic." nytimes.com/2024/05/13/sci…

Absolutely fascinating to find how the off-putting diagnosis "failure to thrive" jumped from pediatrics to geriatrics. In medicine, it seems, failure connects us all 🤔: nytimes.com/2024/05/13/sci… via The New York Times @nytscience #OlderAmericansMonth

"Abortion" wasn't always a dirty word. In fact, it once included miscarriage and other forms of early pregnancy loss. My latest for The New York Times: nytimes.com/2024/08/13/sci…

Menstrual blood is finally being taken seriously as a diagnostically rich substance. Soon, it could change the course for millions of endometriosis patients. My first for The New Yorker: newyorker.com/science/annals…

"Drop by drop, they are painting a fuller picture of an area of the body that’s been hidden for too long." new by Rachel E. Gross on the people (finally) researching menstrual blood, which turns out is "a diagnostic goldmine" newyorker.com/science/annals…

It’s difficult to sample tissue from hidden recesses of the body, such as the ovaries and the inside of the uterus. Instead of invasive surgery, could menstrual blood be used to diagnose diseases? nyer.cm/yLbiUa2
