On Substack

I have been writing a Substack titled What’s Hot in Fertility? since March 2024. It offers “digestible news and views about reproductive health and science” with excursions into politics and society.
If this interests you, please sign up for illustrated posts of about 1,000 words appearing every couple of weeks. Free subscription. I have no intention of monetizing my writing.
Find me by googling rogergosden.substack.com
Examples of essays:

Embryos and Ethics – when gray matter matters

Reproductive Freedom and Power in Project 2025 – where in the world is America going?

Making Babies on Mars – manifest destiny or manifest error?

Kids and Cats (or Dogs) – kinds of companionship

When Glands Become Killers – cancers of the reproductive system through a biologist’s lens

Godmother of the Pill – Katharine McCormick
