Woohoo! I love that she honored refugee and immigrant children as part of her celebrations 💗

Is she on Bluesky? I’ll add her to my DOHaD list! (Which I eventually hope to make into a feed.)

Antiquity publishes amazing #archaeology by and about women, like the work of Rebecca Pitt, who examined adult female and infant skeletons to explore the multi-generational impact of the Roman occupation of England on health.

Assessing the impact of Roman occupation on England through the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) hypothesis | Antiquity
The Roman occupation of England (AD 43–410), characterised by urbanisation and militarisation, is generally understood to have had a negative impact on population health. Yet our understanding of associated socioeconomic changes is hindered by the comparatively limited analysis of inhumations from the preceding Iron Age. Deploying the DOHaD hypothesis, this study examines negative health markers in the skeletons of 274 adult females of childbearing age and 372 non-adults aged below 3.5 years from Iron Age and Roman contexts, revealing the long-lasting negative influence of urbanisation but with a more limited impact in rural communities implying continuation of cultural norms.

One of the best parts of academia is watching trainees become colleagues.

Congratulations to Anthony Wang, MD, PhD. His abstract was selected for an oral presentation and received runner-up for Best Abstract Award at the US DOHaD Society Annual Meeting in Raleigh this week.

Cash transfers to low income mums may slow biological aging in children

“1000 low-income mothers were randomly assigned to receive $333 or $20 per month; by age 4, children in the higher-transfer group showed epigenetic markers linked to a slower pace of biological aging”

Hey #BlueSci and #MedSky,

Are there any maternal-child health or #DOHaD lists or feeds I should know about? Looking at making one but I don’t want to reinvent the wheel…
