Journal Club (online via Substack)

Ongoing Dates- see below

My intentions for starting  Asking for a Friend were to move away from factoids and surface level content in social media and provide more depth and context to the information that swirls on the internet. One of the ways I hope to do that is through this Journal Club. I am excited to amplify the research and researchers that are driving the conversation forward to bridge Female athlete pelvic, pregnancy, and postpartum health. I am so thrilled to share the line-up of multi-disciplinary folks that have offered to come and share their work with us. Check it out the 2025-26 line-up below. This is a Substack paid subscriber benefit.  If you are interested in joining in on the Journal Club (or viewing the recordings)- subscribe here.
