Ali is an assistant professor at the University of Washington and a principle investigator at Seattle Children's Research Institute. Her research looks at changes in the placenta during pregnancy. We talk about her career in science, what we know and don't know about pregnancy, and how certain substances like pthalates (in soft plastics) can have an impact on the developing fetus. I hope you learn something new about this under-studied area of molecular biology! Support this podcast: https://www.ladyscientistpodcast.com/...
