@tanyamonro Tanya So pleased for you and the family. Congratulations! It was a privilege to work with you when we were Institute Directors and it was obvious that you were on a stellar career. But most admirable is how you can rejoice in bringing up such a great family! Rob

Thanks to all the lovely people contacting me following the announcement of my AC. I’m touched. If I’m slow responding, it’s because most of today is tied up with the twin’s 16th birthday party - including icing a cake, carting, pizza and bubbles (not for the 16 yr olds :-)).

This has been one of my most enjoyable collaborations with a team that are wholeheartedly committed, academically orientated and passionate. Well done to Drs Lan, Tuong and colleagues @research_hope for an outstanding achievement and publication @NEJM

Karin Hammarberg from Monash was one of the main drivers of the fertility education poster. So great to see it on @MonashUni web site. #fertilityed @ESHRE @FertilityEurope @BritFertSoc @BalenAdam @boivincardiff bit.ly/3bThvMK

"Although there is a clear association between PCOS and cardiometabolic dysfunction, data on cardiovascular disease events are conflicting. Large, prospective cohort studies of PCOS and long-term follow-up into the late menopause are needed." #heart4pcos #hearthealth #pcos

We know that many with #infertility will never seek treatment. Education and outreach key. @GMChambersNPESU @rnorman02 et al look at: Infertility management in women and men attending primary care—patient characteristics, management actions and referrals academic.oup.com/humrep/humrep/…

A great message from Prof Rob MacLachlan. Are men struggling through a mother-focused health system? insightplus.mja.com.au/2020/6/are-men…

A succinct and constructive contribution to this debate.

It's finally out! Please enjoy our new paper on female infertility and reproductive ageing, we hope it will be an important contribution to the field. NAD+ Repletion Rescues Female Fertility during Reproductive Aging cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Well done @jacanab !

Understand low-quality evidence: learn from food chains @RuiWangMD and De van Wely - poor trials feed into giving the wrong conclusions in systematic reviews. Whenhttps://www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(19)32595-6/fulltext?dgcid=raven_jbs_etoc_email#.Xjop9BtPkCM.twitter

Professor Michelle Lane passed away last night after a long illness. I’m devastated at losing such a high quality reproductive biologist and embryologist who contributed so much for IVF and science. A great contributor to @RobsInstitute @UniofAdelaide @ReprodMed @ESHRE @MonashIVF

Not just #endometriosis that requires more high-quality research. Gynaecology is under-emphasized (in medicine and in O&G), under-funded, and under-researched. Those suffering from gynae problems deserve better.
