Dr. Widen’s work in The Texas Scientist

Dr. Widen’s research findings were recently highlighted in an article in The Texas Scientist. Specifically, her work with her colleagues at Columbia University investigating the impacts of mothers’ body weight and the home environment on the development and outcomes of their babies. This research suggests that boys appear to be more vulnerable in utero than girls.

The article, “Boys and Risk in Utero“, has more details about the research and recommendations for women and pregnant people looking to stay healthy.
