Spanish words rarely start with the letter f.

Even when a word starts with f in all the other Romance languages, it usually starts with a silent h in Spanish.

Have you ever considered freezing your eggs? In my first ever blog post, I talk about reasons you might want to do this, my own experience, and look at some cool UK data on IVF and egg freezing!

Not to mention the excellent grad students who have had blogstacks for a bit longer (@ZMazlish / @MTabarrok / @captgouda24 / @Jon_Hartley_ / @nominalthoughts / @BenSManning / @saengerleo / who else am I missing)

I'm sure there are other great people I'm forgetting -- and obviously this thread is a ploy to get new RSS feeds to subscribe to (personally don't do email subs), please send 🤤
