So excited to attend @ISSCR annual meeting for the first time this year! Thank you to the program organizers for my travel and merit awards 🙏 #womeninstem #placentasarecool #reprorocks

So excited to be welcomed into such a supportive community of amazing scientists!! Cheers to good people and good science 🧬 👏 🎉

Preprint alert! 🚨We found that trisomic expression of NRIP1 disrupts estrogen signaling and drives trophoblast defects in Down syndrome 🚨 @brumbaugh-lab.bsky.social #trisomy21 #Downsyndrome #reprorocks #placentasarecool www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We are proud to highlight our own Dr. Sarah Robertson from @adelaideuni for our April Pub of the Month!! 🎉Full text here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41850558/ Cheers to moving the field forward 🔬✨ #WinRS #WomenInReproductiveSciences

New issue of the #PlacentalCellBio reports by @biomednews.bsky.social biomed.news/bims-placeb/... Looking forward to reading this short review on trophoblast organoids by the Turco lab! febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Scientists have their first proof that the ancestors of some mammals laid eggs, thanks to a 250-million-year-old fossil embryo discovered in South Africa in 2008. https://scim.ag/41E7C0p

Further confirmation that high AMH and AFC do not always mean oocyte quality. On the other hand, better ovarian reserve parameters could lead to higher number of mature oocytes, which is associated with higher live birth rates. Fertility is a delicate balance between quality and quantity!!!!!

Pub of the Month! 💜📰 We’re excited to spotlight new research, recently published in Environment International, by Katie Land (WinRS Trainee Chair) and her fellow Hannon Lab members at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, in collaboration with their IVF clinic partners! 🔬✨

Pub of the Month! 💜📰 This research by Dr. Jenna Schmidt and Dr. Lynda Harris demonstrates innovative work on nanoparticles for placenta-specific drug delivery in pregnant nonhuman primates 🔬✨ #PubOfTheMonth #WinRS #ReproRocks #WomenInSTEM #MaternalHealth #Placenta#Science @lyndakharris.bsky.social

Pub of the Month! 💜📰 Kicking off January 2026 by celebrating outstanding research in Science Advances, featuring Dr. Yu-Ying Chen’s recent publication from Dr. Humphry Yao’s group at NIEHS. Cheers to discovery! 🔬✨ #WinRS #WomenInReproductiveSciences

Pub of the Month! 📄💜 This month’s feature: “Comparative analysis of human and mouse ovaries across age” from the Laird Laboratory @ucsanfrancisco.bsky.social Celebrating the research (and researchers!) moving science forward. 🔬🥼✨ #ReproRocks #WinRS #NewPublication #Research #SSR #Science

Here’s to unraveling the mysteries of reproduction one (spooky) experiment at a time! 👻🧪

SOOOOO proud of our amazing grad student Mika! 👏 👏👏Congrats to @distefanolab.bsky.social and @brumbaugh-lab.bsky.social for their manuscript describing how biomolecular condensates direct cell fate! @natbiotech.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Functional human eggs have been generated from skin cells in a proof-of-concept study in @natcomms.nature.com. The technique could offer a new path to treating infertility, though more research is needed before clinical use. #devbio www.nature.com/articles/s41...

SSR annual meeting was such a blast. Didn’t realize how much I needed my repro friends! @ssrwinrs.bsky.social #reprorocks #womeninSTEM

Listen to 2024 Roger V Short Medal Awardee, Dr. Francesca Duncan, discuss ovarian aging and give trainees a bit of her wisdom on the latest SSR podcast! 👏👏👏 #womeninSTEM #reprorocks Listen to the full episode here 👇https://www.buzzsprout.com/1786803/episodes/16143433

I’m SO proud of my postdoc lab for publishing their first Brumbaugh Lab paper in @NatureCellBio today! Check out how altered H3K36 methylation impacts intestinal cell plasticity 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Congratulations @Brumbaugh_JB 🥳

Wenli Fan et al. leverage conditional mouse knockouts to explore the link between placental problems and congenital heart defects, showing that SLC25A1 regulates trophoblast differentiation and placental development to safeguard embryonic heart formation. 🐭🫀 https://bit.ly/4g372OU #DevBio
