Article Abstract
The issues facing academic mothers have been discussed for decades. Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is further exposing these inequalities as womxn scientists who are parenting while also engaging in a combination of academic related duties are falling behind. These inequities can be solved by investing strategically in solutions. Here we describe strategies that would ensure a more equitable academy for working mothers now and in the future. While the data are clear that mothers are being disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, many groups could benefit from these strategies. Rather than rebuilding what we once knew, let us be the architects of a new world.

Background: Maternal and child health remains a critical public health challenge in developing countries. Annually, an estimated 250 000-280 000 maternal deaths occur, with up to 95% attributed to inadequate access to timely, effective and quality healthcare. While digital health interventions have demonstrated significant potential in improving maternal health services, education and support in high-income settings, their effectiveness, feasibility and broader impact in resource-limited contexts remain understudied.

KK Human Milk Bank, Singapore, Singapore.
Introduction: Very-low-birthweight (VLBW) infants on pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM) have poorer growth compared to infants on fortified mother's milk, suggesting that standard fortification methods for PDHM are inadequate.
Methods: We designed a randomized controlled trial to determine whether an enhanced method of fortification (EF) improved growth in VLBW infants compared to standard fortification (SF). VLBW infants admitted to our tertiary-level neonatal intensive care unit were randomized to receive a bovine powdered human milk fortifier (HMF) added to PDHM (SF), or specially selected high-fat PDHM (fat concentration ≥3.
Associations between genetic predisposition to mental health problems and academic achievement: a developmental perspective using two population-based cohorts.

Background: Children's cognitive abilities play an important role throughout their academic career, but recent studies highlight the negative impacts of aggression, inattention, and impulsivity on academic success. These behaviors and traits are central to most externalizing (EXT) and neurodevelopmental (NDD) problems, which are substantially genetically influenced. We examined the mechanisms by which high levels of genetic predispositions to EXT and NDD problems associate with elevated mental health symptoms and subsequently lead to lower levels of academic achievement in two developmental periods (i.

The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Background And Objectives: Migrant families have reduced access to universal child and family health (CFH) services, including CFH nursing visits, wherein infant and maternal surveillance offers a key opportunity to identify maternal health and child developmental concerns. Evidence is emerging on the effectiveness of integrated health and social care hubs (Hubs) to improve access to CFH services. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of Hubs at 2 sites in Sydney, Australia for migrant women and their infants on attendance to CFH nursing visits until 12 months postpartum for infant and maternal surveillance.
