Hi! I am a freelance medical writer based in Toronto! I enjoy communicating new scientific research.
After menopause, the ovary doesn't just shut down. In mice, it switches jobs from reproduction to immunology.
Plus: exercise slows ovarian aging, and breast tumors can make their own local estrogen.

New research finds that the ovaries of old mice become infiltrated with immune cells and may secrete immune signals into the body.
The consequences of these changes aren’t clear, but a similar transformation in humans could have health implications after menopause. https://scim.ag/4oJAGOK

Did you know that pigeons have their own built-in version of Google Maps hidden in their livers?
A new study in Science found immune cells in the pigeon liver that turn magnetic. Here's how it works:

Immunologists can say “tumor vasculature” without flinching.
But when I try to explain it in plain language, “tumor blood vessels” somehow feels odd.
Am I giving the tumor too much credit? Should I say "blood vessels supplying the tumor" instead?

🚨 #NewPublication alert!
A new @nature.com study from scientists at @pmresearch-uhn.bsky.social and @ox.ac.uk has discovered that human blood-forming stem cells can “remember” past inflammation—memory that may influence health and disease outcomes.
