## Resource

Correction! Frances Oldham Kelsey was a woman. I accidentally assumed she was a man based on “Frances”. This week on Transmissible: A Public Health Podcast , Jessica shares a deeply personal and scientific exploration of morning sickness AKA nausea and vomiting during pregnancy—a condition she's navigating firsthand while managing type 1 diabetes. Drawing on her professional experience as a scientist and her academic background, she unpacks the science, epidemiology and ancient history of this challenging aspect of pregnancy. She also explores the data on available treatment options and recounts the harrowing story of one of modern history's most devastating medical disasters—centered around a morning sickness drug from the 1950s.
