I Founded Girls Who Code. Now I’m Worried About Boys
Boys and men are less likely to turn to their communities for social connection and support.
Just like we need women in STEM and "Girls Who Code", we need “Men Who Nurse” and “Guys Who Teach,” pipeline programs that can offer boys pathways forward in female-typed fields. @reshmasaujani.bsky.social

we've put a Review together 👇
Just came out at www.nature.com/articles/s41...
hoping it is useful for those in the field but also for those not in the field who would like an overview on chromatin/epigenetics/replication/nuclear organisation in early embryos
Enjoy :) - feedback welcome

First baby born in UK to woman with transplanted womb
Grace Davidson gave birth to a baby girl two years after her sister's womb was transplanted into her body.
A "miracle" baby girl has become the first child in the UK to be born to a mother using a donated #womb.
Mr Richard Smith from @imperialnhs.bsky.social led the organ retrieval team and has been researching womb transplantation for more than two decades.
