“For much of modern medical history, women were not included in medical trials because of their periods,” write Alice Lü-Culligan, MD, PhD and Randi Hutter Epstein of Yale School of Medicine. “In essence, they felt the female body would ruin the research.” nyti.ms/32wwQiS

Great read by soon-to-be Dr. Alice Lü-Culligan, MD, PhD on the need for more basic science research on menstruation! Can't wait to see all the exciting work to come out of my distanced lunch buddy and #WomanInSTEM extraordinaire Kara McKinley's lab on the subject🩸

Learning about periods is not the same as tracking them. We need more scientific research to glean more crucial info about our bodies. here's my piece with Alice Lü-Culligan, MD, PhD. thx Johannah Usoro NYT Science NYT Health Yale Med Humanities Yale School of Public Health nytimes.com/2021/04/20/opi…

Why don't we know more about how the coronavirus vaccines affect menstruation? “It’s part of a long history of medicine not taking women’s bodies seriously,” write Alice Lü-Culligan, MD, PhD and Randi Hutter Epstein of Yale School of Medicine. nyti.ms/3v8pj5X

Another brilliant New York Times Opinion by Alice Lü-Culligan, MD, PhD on #WomensHealth with Randi Hutter Epstein. Do vaccines affect menstruation? Why don’t we know? Why do we need to study this?

Reports that some women's periods changed after getting their coronavirus vaccines shows how little science knows about menstruation, write Alice Lü-Culligan, MD, PhD and Randi Hutter Epstein. “We should view tracking periods in future studies as a potential opportunity.” nyti.ms/32zj5jl

Such an honor for me to discuss with Dr. Sanjay Gupta our research on #LongCovid, reality of being an Asian woman in America, and the need to support women and minorities to succeed in science after an incredibly difficult year. Thank you Dr. Gupta for the incredible interview 🙏🏼

Pregnant women infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 are more likely to experience preterm births, pre-eclampsia, and other neonatal problems than non-infected women, according to research led by Shelli Farhadian and Prof. Akiko Iwasaki. news.yale.edu/2021/04/22/imm…

Glad to share our study on placental changes during maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection, done in collaboration with Prof. Akiko Iwasaki and led by Alice Lü-Culligan, MD, PhD.

So wonderful to see this work published! Timing is everything when it comes to immune control of COVID. Neutralizing antibody production is delayed in lethal COVID. By the brilliant Carolina Lucas @sneakyvirus1 & #YaleIMPACT team 💪🏼(1/n)



Kudos to Yale School of Medicine for recognizing that their own trainees often hold the expertise & perspectives that matter most—Jes Cerdeña, MD, PhD (she/her) just dropped the most powerful talk on actionable social justice in medicine I've seen here, to all the students on clerkships. 🔥🔥 #traineesmatter
