I’m a bit surprised by the conclusion but I’m not an anthropologist. If you’ve ever tried to latch a human baby with retrognathia to the human breast you’ll notice, it’s very difficult. The chin is important for support of the breast, stabilizing it in the infant’s soft palate during breastfeeding.

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

I’m honored to join the fantastic group of editors at the Journal of Human Lactation! JHL is an international, quarterly, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research & theoretical and conceptual discussions regarding clinical practice and policy issues in human lactation and breastfeeding.

Divergent paths of mammary gland involution: unveiling the cellular dynamics in abruptly and gradually involuted mouse models - Breast Cancer Research Background Epidemiological studies associate an increase in breast cancer risk, particularly triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), with lack of breastfeeding. This is more prevalent in African America...

What do we know about how the biology of mammary gland lactation and involution impact breast cancer risk?

I also have a spike in pornographic profiles that follow me, I think it’s unfortunately linked to my scientific work in breastfeeding, I haven’t been actively blocking them but am very disappointed in the sheer number of these kind of requests on Bluesky

Danone’s use of midwives to give branded infant feeding advice in supermarket sparks anger Campaigners for impartial nutritional advice are dismayed at a service that seems to be adopting marketing tactics dubbed scandalous 50 years ago. Rebecca Coombes reports The UK supermarket giant Tes...

1/2 Thanks to BMJ for exposing this activity. The thing that gets me is Danone were willing to pay the midwives twice their normal pay and provide branded uniforms. The cost of those things does not come out of the CEO’s pocket or the profits for shareholders- cont.. www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Lifespan costs of reproduction increase during the Great Finnish Famine Evolutionary theory of aging predicts that women with increased reproductive effort live shorter lives, but evidence is inconsistent. These inconsistencies could be because environmental conditions in...

"lifespan costs of reproduction became higher in mothers exposed to the famine during reproduction, amounting to a decreased life expectancy of ~0.5 years per child. Reproductive behavior did not shape the lifespans of mothers not exposed to famine or exposed post-reproduction or during development"

Antibiotic emergency ‘could claim 40 million lives in next 25 years’ As superbugs spread across the globe, death rates from antimicrobial resistance are set to double, says England’s former chief medical officer

About a million people die every year due to antimicrobial resistance. Causes:
- Excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotics
- 70% of antibiotics are given to livestock
- No financial incentive to develop new antibiotics
- no new antibiotic classes since 1980

HPV vaccine stops 90% of cervical cancer cases England began vaccinating teenage girls in 2008 and results show it is paying off.

Vaccines are amazing.
