Super proud of this paper by my amazing research team. Growing up poor has an asymmetrically negative impact on boys' (compared to girls) immune function.
THRILLED to see this in print. One of the most important papers of my career.
Moving Beyond the Mean: Promising Research Pathways to Support a Precision Medicine Approach to Hormonal Birth Control.
"When Our Bodies, Ourselves debuted in 1970, it was deemed revolutionary for how it covered women’s sexual and reproductive health. Fifty years later, Dr. Sarah E. Hill’s This Is Your Brain on Birth Control feels just as important.”
So excited that this is finally out! By two of my favorite homo sapiens!
Solving Modern Problems With a Stone-Age Brain: Human Evolution and the Seven Fundamental Motives
My research team recently teamed up with the scientists at @ Natural Cycles to look at the relationship between day length, ovulation rates, and sexual desire.

We dive deeply into the messiness of the human body, the politics surrounding women’s sex hormones, what’s wrong with science, and I analyze Cara’s birth control issues. We also laugh. A lot.

Cool meta-analysis finds that oral contraceptive pill use is linked to small to moderate decrements in exercise performance. Can’t wait until there are enough data to stratify results based on type of progestins used. 🤔
I am conducting a 2 minute, 4 question survey asking women about their menstrual cycle's luteal phase. This is the two weeks leading up to the start of your period. What are the words that pop into your head when you think about this time in your cycle? Link to follow!
This research was inspired by hearing about someone who would only eat chicken nuggets.

Cool new research from my lab showing that the effects of early life poverty on how people regulate their eating behavior is already present by age 3.

This is an important conversation. Women’s hormones can be so politically contentious to discuss, but not discussing them is bad for women’s health.

Today, I am wearing jeans for the first time since quarantine began. It’s not yet noon and I have already left my fly open no fewer than 3 times. Clearly, I’m out of practice.

I wanted to make a post to ask why I don’t understand Twitter. And why I can’t figure out how to follow threads. But then I realized I wouldn’t be able to read the responses.

about attitudes towards the pill and why it's so important the public is told exactly what it does to our brains.
Small but mighty! This is a video of a killer T cell of the immune system destroying a monstrous ovarian cancer cell. I recently captured this data on a spinning disc confocal microscope.
My amazing team's newest paper. Enjoy!

Mainstream: depression is brain dysfunction. Treat it, ideally w/ cheap drugs, to increase worker productivity.
Our model: Work-related depression is functional response to adverse working conditions, e.g. exploitation. Must improve working conditions, not alter brain chemistry!
Like so many of you, I struggle hugely with being in the moment. This is especially true right now, as the demands on my time are increasing, and I feel like I’m constantly having to think about what is happening…
Dear AL and everyone else considering abortion bans: The answer to the achievement gap isn’t stripping women of their rights so that they underperform like men have the last 30 years. It’s telling men to get their shit together so that they can perform on level with women.
