“Fertility issues can have a profound biopsychosocial impact on a woman’s life,” says Dr Tara Wyne, a clinical psychologist at The Lighthouse Arabia in Dubai. “Women often hold assumptions that if and when they want to conceive and start a family they will be able to do so at will.

Society selects students for their outstanding scholarly achievement and commitment to advocacy and to fostering diversity By Saralyn Cruickshank / Published May 14, 2021
Five Johns Hopkins graduate students have been selected to join the university s chapter of the Edward Alexander Bouchet Graduate Honor Society, which recognizes outstanding scholarly achievement and promotes diversity and excellence in doctoral education and the professoriate.
The Bouchet Society seeks to develop a network of scholars who exemplify academic and personal excellence, foster collegial and inclusive environments, and serve as examples of scholarship, leadership, character, service, and advocacy for students who have been traditionally underrepresented in higher education. The society is named for Edward Alexander Bouchet, who in 1876 became the first African American to receive a doctoral degree in the United States.
