Super excited to announce our latest publication in The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynaecology, & Women’s Health on the importance of sleep health during pregnancy and the negative impact that sleep disruption can have on Cardiometabolic health.

Special thanks to Iona Palmer for the hard work she put in to this. We shared many drafts back and forth, and we really worked well together on this.

Also, special thank you to Clara Sears and Martha Gulati on providing much needed epidemiological and clinical insight.

In order to make a difference in this space, basic science, epidemiology, and clinical science should be combined. Looking forward to working with this group of ladies on more collaborative works moving forward.
