#sideeffectssuck but we're here to help you avoid them (using actual science). elonswrong.com
Hormonal birth control makes you fat, doubles risk of depression & triples risk of suicide. This is the clear scientific consensus, but very few people seem to know it.

1. THANK YOU for this important article @JessGrose 2. The topics covered - like how #birthcontrol side effects are often downplayed & the unscientific way birth control is currently prescribed - are EXACTLY why adyn exists. nytimes.com/2023/11/01/opini…

“As a scientific community, we have the responsibility to be sure that we’re out there loudly educating about the merits of birth control and how it actually works, and then reminding people that birth control is medicine” — @sequinlabcoat @PharmaVoice

Today, @POTUS signed a third reproductive health care Executive Order, which strengthens access to contraception. While this is a critical step forward in protecting reproductive freedom, more must be done. Congress must put the protections of Roe into federal law.

This is the most measured and evidence-informed assessment the misoprostol-only regimen for medical abortion by @MaraGordonMD on @npratc. 🙏🏽 Misoprostol-only regimen is safe & effective. It is widely used throughout the world and recommended by the @WHO. npr.org/sections/health-shot… – at Manhattan, NY

Wow the US government is fully protecting all SVB depositors. Great move and should bring calm into the markets again. "After receiving a recommendation from the boards of the FDIC and the Federal Reserve, and consulting with the President, Secretary Yellen approved actions enabling the FDIC to complete its resolution of Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, California, in a manner that fully protects all depositors. Depositors will have access to all of their money starting Monday, March 13. No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayer." federalreserve.gov/newsevent…

It’s tragic that Silicon Valley Bank could lose 80%+ of its value in a single day. But what’s crazy is that the financial collapse was largely driven by a communication collapse. Their storyline unraveled and their messaging went off the rails, in 4 big ways. (continued below)
I feel bad for Silicon Valley Bank right now. They have been the biggest capital partner to founders, employees, and investors over the last decade and they’re being completely turned on by all of them. If SVB goes under it would be detrimental to the startup community

In the beautiful world that is Science, in an era I had frequent endometriosis surgeries, my husband invented the "histidine switch" to improve protein PK; later we published on IL-8 in endo. Now gorgeous work by Chugai combining these themes for a therapy! science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/…

The stakes of birth control access have never been higher, with the erosion of abortion rights and a hostile landscape for reproductive health care. That's why we did a nationwide survey looking at the state of birth control access. Here's what we found. 🧵(1/8)
