    Sponsor shout out — Thanks to Australis and Stonyfield for their support of our PCOS work!

    It's really become important for us to partner with like-minded companies in order to do all the work we aspire to do.

    When Pat Hunter, Hillary Wright, and I present in Nashua, NH, we owe that event's existence to St. Joseph Medical Center. Kristen Rioux has been instrumental in developing our flyer, and providing marketing insights that helped to create a great event with potential to reach a lot of women.

    In addition, Australis is donating the barramundi we're serving for lunch. If you're not familiar with barramundi, please check out their website. It's a sustainable farm-raised fish with a very high omega-3 content. I love it because its flavor is very mild, which makes it acceptable to many people who just cannot tolerate the distinctive flavor of salmon. The Australis people like to call it"sustainable sea bass" because its flavor is reminiscent of that species.

    Stonyfield will be donating samples of their vitamin-D supplemented yogurt for our snack break. If you have read inCYST intern Sarah Jones' blog post about yogurt, you will remember that not many yogurts even have vitamin D. Stonyfield is one brand that does have a variety, and we're looking forward to showcasing it in Nashua.
