Welcome to the third episode of YJBM Science News, where we discuss the recent news in healthcare and science across the Yale community. Today, our hosts Mara and Samantha discuss three of the most intriguing topics of the past week. Instead of a regular collection of several stories, this week we will cover two intriguing research papers in neurobiology.
In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Dominguez, a leading expert in topics related to morbid obesity, particularly Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), talks with us regarding the importance of early recognition and management of OSA during Pregnancy. To guide our discussion, we conversed regarding the recently published consensus statement titled- The Society of Anesthesia and Sleep Medicine and the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology Consensus Guideline on the Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Pregnancy publication is an excellent reference for all those caring for patients with a known or suspected diagnosis of OSA. In this episode, we emphasized the intra (e.g., intrathecal morphine) and postoperative care (e.g., monitoring) of the parturient with a known or suspected OSA.
Here are the links to the study discussed during our Podcast:

With just days to go before Yale’s early action deadline, Hannah, Mark, and special guest Moira hosted a special live virtual event for students preparing their Yale applications. The officers answered questions about standardized testing, the activities list, essays, and short answer questions, while busting a few myths and dispelling rumors about the selection process.
Asher Young, YC ’17, artist, designer, producer, Challenge Your Imagination – Part 2
The Craft & Career series connects with professional creatives from the arts, entertainment, and media industries, to discuss the nuances of their craft, the reality of their careers, and how, in often surprising ways, these two concerns can work together.
We’re excited to continue this conversation with innovative Yale alumnus, Asher Young ’17, and dive deeper into the entrepreneurial realities of owning a creative business.
Welcome to the third episode of YJBM Science News, back after a break, where we discuss the recent news in healthcare and science across the Yale community. Today, our hosts Mara and Samantha discuss three of the most intriguing topics of the past week.
The Getting2U (G2U) crew get the chance to meet with subject matter expert, Danielle Warren-Diaz, Community Health Program Director at Connecticut Children’s and UCONN Health’s Youth and Family Community Health Program.
The team’s Hot Topic discussion was about the Department of Health and Human Service’s new Chestfeeding Guidelines for people living with HIV. For more information on the topic click here. (Infant Feeding for Individuals with HIV in the United States | NIH)
Danielle helped shed some light on the current impact of HIV on people of children-bearing age, especially among Black heterosexual women, who are among the highest population of people at risk for contracting HIV in Connecticut. Through some heart-felt moments and sharing of some personal experiences, the G2U crew took a deep dive into what UConn Health and Connecticut Children’s Hospital’s Youth and Family Community Health Program is doing to help combat this situation. Hoping to help inspire others to join the movement, Danielle provided her contact information for anyone looking to connect. Danielle can be reached at (860) 446-9685 or by email at DWarren@uchc.edu.
