🍼 In 2022—faced with a historic #formula shortage—did more new mothers decide to breastfeed?
Emerging research led by @ME_Thoma@marmelinz@UMD_MPRC using birth certificate data found a 5 percentage point rise in #breastfeeding initiation among moms enrolled in #WIC. #PAA2024

As remote work expands, mothers earn more and are more likely to be employed—especially in family-unfriendly fields like finance.
Flexibility doesn't just facilitate balance. It broadens opportunity.
In a study (N=600), participants were asked to imagine walking through images of areas at night. While men tended to focus on the path or a fixed object (a light, the path or a garbage can), women scanned the perimeter (bushes, dark areas next to a path). news.byu.edu/intellect/stud…

What if I told you there was a disease that tangles a woman’s organs together but the only money we’ve spent trying to figure out why is because sometimes it means she cant get pregnant
