<p>In this episode of Evidence Based IHP, Emma Snyder, a first-year student in the Genetic Counseling program joins us to talk about her research on Turner Syndrome, in collaboration with her team at the Massachusetts General Hospital Turner Syndrome Clinic. We dive into how this research and findings within the study Emma conducted helps genetic counselors personalize care for women with 45,X/46,XX mosaicism. Topics also emerge that focus on the challenges of publishing during a pandemic, the importance of women in science, and Imposter Syndrome. Amanda and Rachel wrap the episode up with a discussion of recent research on the experiences of women working in STEMM.</p><p>Listen to the Season 1 Playlist on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7pFEEH585MZpsjCaQ6dfOi?si=8eedf4acd427437a">Spotify</a> or <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVp4wbbHeSvpL7atSGSTOdl2GZIkv42fu">YouTube</a>!</p><p>Learn more about: </p><ul> <li> <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1769721221000069">Genetic counseling for women with 45,X/46,XX mosaicism: Towards more personalized management</a> in <em>The European Journal of Medical Genetics</em> </li> <li>The <a href="https://www.mghihp.edu/overview/master-science-genetic-counseling">MS in Genetic Counseling</a> at MGH IHP</li> <li> <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/07/how-women-are-harassed-out-of-science/492521/%20">How women are harassed out of science</a> in <em>The Atlantic</em> </li> <li>What a survey done by the Pew Research Center revealed about <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2018/01/09/women-and-men-in-stem-often-at-odds-over-workplace-equity/%20">workplace equity in STEM fields</a>.</li> <li>The publishing output of women academics <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01294-9">early on in the Covid-19 pandemic</a>.</li> <li>The impact of Covid-19 pandemic on <a href="https://www.nap.edu/catalog/26061/the-impact-of-covid-19-on-the-careers-of-women-in-academic-sciences-eng
