is still very active in current social media posts. Does combination oral birth control cause hypothyroidism with prolonged use? Are birth control pills responsible for “micronutrient depletion” which negatively affects the thyroid? In this episode, we will explore and dissect this study and look at a Ja...

The Bird EmergencyPint Of Science Takeover Week - Toby Ross and the East Asian Australasian Flyway An estimated 8 million migratory shorebirds frequent the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF) annually. In recent years, global change has resulted in population declines of up to 80% in some species of this flyway. To greater understand the threat that pollution poses to migratory shorebirds of the EAAF, Toby Ross, through Deakin University, is studying three relatively common migrants that frequent Australian coasts every Austral summer. Ruddy turnstones, Curlew sandpipers and Red-necked stints act as good indicator species for the health of the flyway due to their diverse migration routes and strategies, foraging behaviours, and conservation status.

Science SaysThe Effects of Oral Isotretinoin in Women with Acne and Polycystic Ovary SyndromeIntroduction: Many patients who were diagnosed as polycystic ovary syndrome- (PCOS-) related acne were not capable of sustaining or beginning oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) due to pill scaring, contraindications of OCP use, migraine, or smoking.
