I’m so delighted to share the destealth of Becoming- a company doing incredible work in the field of early human embryogenesis. They emphasize the importance of studying and understanding the roles of the early human placenta, a key organ critical for human development!
How do we go from a single cell to a complex organism? For 50 yrs experimentally meeting the nutritional demands of a growing organism has been a bottleneck in development. For the first time, we built placental support and predictive tools to make it possible. Watch ↓

Fantastic article on communication strategies for our community. I agree, we should avoid a sci-fi and sensationalized story. I will add that any communication strategy with mass media should be made strategically and compassionately based on local political/social environments.
Important call-to-arms to communicate clearly and without hype to inform public understanding of human embryology and achieve societal benefits, and the risks of not doing so. Many thanks to @NRivron and colleagues for writing this article. rdcu.be/drEoM

Today’s Josh Hawley update is that he voted against reasonable accommodations for pregnant workers (even Roy Blunt voted yes).
