Please retweet about this excellent one day meeting starring the most fundamentally important process = reproduction! #GenSocRepro

In support of maternal mental health - we reported #postnataldepression linked to lower levels of placental lactogen. We now report that consuming a Health Conscious diet in pregnancy linked to higher levels of this important hormone @PMHPUK @Perinatal_MH frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Delighted to promote the next @GenSocUK meeting taking place @royalsociety in November focused on the genetics of reproduction. Truly talented group of speakers and excellent opportunities for ECRs to present. Please retweet! #GenSocRepro

Amazing dinner with @ProlactinGuy , @preg_lab , @Sooraj_SVN !

Surani lab mini reunion at Mendel’s 200th birthday celebration, RHS Wisley @GenSocUK @HGLeitch @GurdonInstitute @Kat_Arney @AnneF_S

Super proud to have contributed to the supervision of Nicola Savory who was the research midwife on our MRC funded #GrownInWalesStudy #placenta #maternaldepression. Graduated! Congratulations Dr Savory! @CUBiosciences @CUHealthSci

Our last speaker of the day is our joint Mendel Medal Awardee Prof Azim Surani talking about 'Genomic Imprinting: why bother?'. Join us here: youtube.com/watch?v=zP8hB4… #Mendel200 #Mendel200GenSoc @GurdonInstitute

New PhD opportunities at Cardiff University @CUBiosciences swbio.ac.uk/phd-projects-s… We study prenatal adversity in human pregnancy and have project in this round: Aging before birth: identifying prenatal influences of lifestyle on telomeres and the epigenetic clock

Congratulations to ex-Preg_lab member @RBoqueSastre for her very own Grown in Wales/delivered in Spain baby. Baby Berta and mother are doing well. And yes - she did send me a photo of the placenta! 🚼

📢Rydym yn falch iawn o rannu bod ymchwil @CUBiosciences y: ➡️7fed yn y DU am effaith ymchwil 👏👏👏 ➡️8fed yn y DU am bŵer ymchwil 👏👏👏 HEFYD: Cyfrifir 88% o’n hymchwil yn swyddogol gyda’r gorau yn y byd neu’n rhagorol yn rhyngwladol bit.ly/3FKVyP9

From the protection of #endangeredspecies🐘 to the management of healthy #freshwaterecosystems🌊 today we are celebrating the difference our research makes. Huge congratulations to all our researchers and everyone in our School who supports their work: bit.ly/3PsB7Lx
