Dr Lizellen La Follette | Biomarkers, Diagnostics, and Clocks
Biomarkers, Diagnostics, and Clocks: Defining a Woman’s Reproductive Trajectory with Dr Lizellen La Follette. Lizellen returns to speak with Jennifer about how we measure reproductive aging. Reproductive function is incredibly complex and varies dramatically between women, but our tools to measure when and how it will decline in individuals are lacking. The two discuss the best tools medicine has so far to diagnose reproductive decline, how these clocks can improve in the future, and what women can do themselves to better track their fertility.

Dr Deena Emera | From Menstruation to Menopause
From Menstruation to Menopause: Evolutionary Insights Into the Mysteries of Female Reproductive Biology with Dr Deena Emera. Deena shares her research as an evolutionary biologist into the evolution of the unique human female reproductive system. Very few other animals go through monthly menstruation as we do, and even fewer go through menopause! Why are we so unique? What theories do we have as to why these characteristics evolved? Towards the end, Deena shares details of her upcoming book on the subject.
