Excited to announce my first research paper on macroautophagy in aged pre-ovulatory oocytes is out! 🔬🥚Using comprehensive image analysis methods, we found key components of the #macroautophagy pathway are altered in aged mouse pre-ovulatory oocytes(1/2) bit.ly/3w2PkDT

We also generated an in vitro chloroquine treatment model to mimic the mechanism of these changes.🧫📊 Overall, our findings indicate that autophagy is dysfunctional in aged oocytes + provides new info to aid with improvement of #pooroocytequality in #agerelatedinfertility! (2/2)

It’s national fertility week! My research focuses on the contribution of autophagy to poor egg quality; a hallmark of female fertility decline with age. Here’s a little pic of me and the eggs I’m working on today 🥚💖#fertilityweek2020 #femalefertility #fertilityresearch

No, we are NOT doomed. 1) SARS-CoV-2 has a fatty coating, so soap & alcohol will disrupt it 2) Case Fatality Rate is 0.5%, not 30% like MERS, not 85% like Cholera in 1800s in France 3) it’s not as transmissible as measles 4) we will get vaccine, but must do social distancing now

Evidence shows burden on female academics from March 2020 with % accepted papers with female lead dropping by 27%. We must acknowledge the gender inequity in academia and consequence of #COVID on #womeninSTEM – at Melbourne, Victoria

Male researchers take note. And then take action. 👇👇

Scientists seem to spend so long making figures look pretty and formatting. Shouldn't the journal just pay a person to do this? Your time is valuable, your graphics skills don't matter to quality of the science, there are people trained in this, and journals have the money.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 To add to this more generally, everyone in the fertility research space should attempt to consider whether the language they’re using in their research/presentations etc is inclusive - people in the LGBT community are often left out of discussions surrounding fertility!
