Science Twitter! Behold my completed furlough project. A crocheted #placenta. It's musical too. Pull the umbilical cord for a lullaby ๐ #SciArt (kind of)
@CrossCountryUK Has anyone handed in these toys at one of the stations between Peterborough and Birmingham New Street? My sister left them when she got off the 1300 Cambridge train at Peterborough. The nephew just got them on his first trip to the @NHM_London ๐ค
@mitchell_hurd@CrossCountryUK@NHM_London Thanks, that was taken on the 1st leg of the journey when they were still accounted for. They got lost after the change off the Cambridge-Peterborough train
@JESchjenken@AdamWatkins78@nadereid_ Still underway, but almost there ๐ค Just pulling it all together, so hopefully it shouldn't be too long of a wait for it
@BenMoorhouse_ is on the final stretch of his trek from London to Manchester โ and the brilliant Prof Alex Heazell, Director of our Stillbirth Research Centre, has joined him so they can finish the challenge together.
Good luck and thank you both! ๐๐

Excited to share our latest article (https://t.co/q4waPKZC7x) 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 +
@JLopTello @SRF_Repro @CTR_Cambridge @PDN_Cambridge Congratulations! So well done, that session had such high quality research and yours was awesome ๐
Thank you @SRF_Repro for the award! Loved every minute of #Fertility2022 and there were so many amazing posters! I do love the virtual poster format and the access to so much interesting information. See you all in person next year (hopefully ๐ค)
And then finally there is me. I have some posters too! So check out poster # 129 to see that a paternal Western diet influences the placental transcriptome. And # 125 To have a look at paternal diets impact on ectoplacental cone formation - all in mice ๐
So much interesting data on show at #Fertility2022. Including a lot of things from our group. If you want to know pretty much all that @AdamWatkins78's group has been up to check out the following ๐
Next we have @nadereid_ final year PhD student who is presenting his work on the impact of paternal diet on testicular and metabolic health of the male mice (Poster # 038)
"Paternal factors, such as age and diet, at the time of conception can not only affect the development of his offspring, but also the well-being of the mother during pregnancy." Learn about the surprising connections in the review by A Khoshkerdar et al. https://t.co/5GTrfCM3bj
