Sperm maturation in different vertebrate systems headed by one of our research leaders @BrettNixon13, how cool!

[Dr Taylor Pini @TaylorPini]

@PRCRepro's John Aitken has done it again - thrown a huge curve ball into the sperm world. Cell free DNA apparently a potential mechanism for sperm DNA damage! https://t.co/DD9KCb27UB #reprorocks #stillnospermemoji

Giddy up onto some research from our Equine group lead by PhD candidate Roísín! @RoisinGriffin5

[Reproduction journal @ReprodJournal]

This new study using mass spectrometry has found that there are distinct proteomic profiles in high- and low-quality spermatozoa.

Fantastic achievement, Liz! We can't wait to see what comes next 🎉

[Elizabeth Bromfield @egbromfield]

I’m excited to announce that I’ve been awarded a #DECRA from @arc_gov_au to move back to @UON_research next year 🎉👩🏻‍🔬🌱 Grateful for the help of @OBryanMoira, @BrettNixon13 and @scientistjessie. The #DECRAclash has been tough, I’m sorry to those who missed out this time.

This year, a number of us from @PRCRepro @Uni_Newcastle are taking part in #Movember... if anyone is interested in donating, see the link below.

[Lisa Akison @DrLisaAkison]

Next up in @ARTLabSolutions award session is @RoisinGriffin5 from @PRCRepro, with an excellent presentation on her study to examine heat stress effects on fertility in stallions in the Hunter Valley.

Congratulations Doctors!

[PRC for Reproductive Science @PRCRepro]

Congratulations grads!

[Shenae Cafe @ShenaeCafe]

Congratulations to everyone graduating this week! Go team @PRCRepro

[Tessa Lord @TessaLord1]

Thrilled to be amongst those funded in the @nhmrc ideas grant round!
So thankful for the investment into reproductive biology research @PRCrepro @Uni_Newcastle

Autocorrect strikes again, sorry ZAMIRA 🐎

[PRC for Reproductive Science @PRCRepro]

The fun never stops! @BrettNixon13 kicking off the 6th NSW Reproduction forum here in lovely Newcastle. Thanks to @CaesarsScience and Samira for the organisational effort!

[John Schjenken @JESchjenken]

Interested in spermatogonial stem cells. Well this is a great opportunity for you @Uni_Newcastle in @PRCRepro with @TessaLord1 @BrettNixon13 and @egbromfield. Phd scholarship available! Great team to be involved in and would encourage anyone interested to apply

In this review, @NATrigg @PRCRepro @BrettNixon13 review the role of epididymosome–sperm communication in contributing to the establishment of the #sperm sRNA profile during their epididymal transit #endocrinology #reproduction https://t.co/cdZPLAyj8H

[Aleona Swegen @AleonaSwegen]

What makes a fertile sperm? Brand spankin' new review from my wonderful @PRCRepro PhD student Roisin Griffin in @ReprodJournal https://t.co/VlC9gGMwsx @SRF_Repro @ReproductionSRB #equinereproduction #fertility

[PRC for Reproductive Science @PRCRepro]

@JESchjenken @BrettNixon13 @egbromfield @Uni_Newcastle We are glad to have you back! 🔬🧪

[Natalie Trigg @NATrigg]

Our #review on the contribution of epididymosomes to the sRNA profile of sperm (a profile that is altered by paternal exposure to stress) is now online!! 😆👩🏼‍🔬@ReprodJournal @UON_research @BrettNixon13 https://t.co/elr6Xc08sF

[Dr Yu Qi Lee @yuqi2109]

Today I presented the results from the last paper of my PhD thesis at #PSANZ2019 @mypsanz. Watch this space for the paper!! 🤗
Thank you to my wonderful supervisors who have guided me throughout this journey! 🙂

[Professor Kirsty Pringle @Dr_K_Pringle]

A HUGE Congratulations to Professor Roger Smith @crhbp on your @SRIWomensHealth Distinguished Scientist Award. Very well deserved. @PRCRepro @UON_research
