Health & Wellness
Mary Kathleen Haber, FNP-C, IBCLC
Those Nerdy Girls would like to take a moment to remember and honor those we’ve lost to overdose. Together, let’s help reduce the stigma of substance use disorder by recognizing it as the chronic disease it is. Any one of us can develop a chronic disease, regardless of our background, income level, education level, or …
Can IUDs be used as emergency contraception?
Reproductive Health
Mary Kathleen Haber, FNP-C, IBCLC
Yes! Intra-uterine devices (IUDs) are in fact the most effective form of emergency contraception there is. They do require a clinical visit and can be expensive without insurance, which can make them a challenge when time is of the essence.

The body recognizes the virus and makes antibodies …
How well do COVID-19 rapid antigen tests work? Is a single antigen test enough?

Repeat (serial) testing is a powerful way to catch more SARS-CoV-2 infections and reduce false negatives. In a recent study, COVID-19 rapid antigen tests detected the virus roughly 80% of the time when …
