🔴New working paper with @marcocozzani.bsky.social and @juhoharkonen.bsky.social. We describe the temporal link between conception timing and preterm birth rates. When conception rates fluctuate, preterm birth proportions shift predictably but with different magnitudes depending on baseline risk. 1/4
