I'm a Repro Biologist

Excited to share our latest article (bit.ly/3zSm3iz) in which we review our current understanding of how paternal metabolic status at the time of conception can affect #sperm quality, post-fertilisation embryonic and #fetal development and #offspring health +

Congratulations Professor Hansen! Well deserved.

Words fail me. Kind, humble, encouraging, inspirational and a great former colleague ⁦@NHS_Lothian⁩ ⁦@EdinburghUni⁩ #womeninSTEM thescottishsun.co.uk/news/8261147/t…

While I have 5 mins, & my coffee goes cold (what’s new) can I ask… what’s your thoughts on weekend conferences? Let me know your reasons in the replies 😎 #AcademicTwitter

A brief summary of the debate at #Fertility2022 today on whether chemicals in the environment have caused a decline in male repro health. @RodTMitchell highlights how hard it is to pick out a single causative factor from environmental impacts!

It's been an unusual @Fertility2022 as I get settled in ahead of my new postdoc @UCalgary, but I've loved listening to the sessions as I've explored! Missing the networking side of #ferility2022 so fellow ECRs please drop me a DM to chat #reprorocks #RaFtwittercomp @SRF_Repro

Sorry folks, no @Fertility2022 tweets from me today but will RT the highlights. Weekend conferences don’t work well when you have wee ones (or other caring responsibilities). The good news is that I can catch up online next week! 🎉 #Fertility2022 #LegosNotEggos 😆

Prof Wells data on the genetic makeup of mosaic embryos is super interesting - many low level mosaics may actually be euploid and thus have similar clinical outcomes! #Fertility2022

Great to see advances in #miscarriage prevention as it affects so many women (me included, if we're oversharing!) @arricoomarasamy cautions we must recognise implications of m/c on pregnancy & women's health beyond m/c itself, & explore the male influence #Fertility2022 (10/end)

Last year, NICE updated it's guidelines on ectopic pregnancy & miscarriage to recommend vaginal progesterone treatment for women with vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy & a history of miscarriage #Fertility2022 (9/) nice.org.uk/guidance/ng126

Joined @Fertility2022 just in time to hear @arricoomarasamy give a fabulous talk on #miscarriage prevention. As m/c is an issue that affects many women, here's a short thread of some info Prof Coomarasamy presented that may not be commonly known (1/) #Fertility2022
