Check out this fantastic article on maternal-fetal conflict by Katherine J. Wu, Ph.D.! So excited to see coverage of this topic with diverse perspectives from Amy Boddy, David Haig, @JaredStabach, Ava Mainieri of Tia, Anna Estes & me theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

Amy Boddy is always a great example for how to give an engaging talk! discussing microchimerism in evolutionary medicine and human health

Really enjoyed Amy Boddy's whole talk at the Paradox of the Organism conference this afternoon, but this was a particular highlight.

Microchimerism and Reproduction! Get ready to explore the fascinating mechanisms!" 🧬🤯 #Microchimerism #ReproductionScience #ReproductiveImmunology #ISIR2023

🤰🧬👶 Amazing new work suggesting fetal #microchimerism hangs around after pregnancy and is impt for maternal immune modulation BUT younger sib cells displace the older sib microchimerism in subsequent pregnancy 🤯

During pregnancy, fetal cells invade maternal tissues and can persist for decades, but their effect on maternal health remains largely obscure.
