@Animal_DairySci compared IVP vs. IVD beef & dairy embryo production. OPU yielded more oocytes—but not always more embryos 🤔.

One weird thing about a career in academic science is the versatility of skills & problem you face, In an average day you may: fix an incubator, troubleshoot a biochemistry experiment, operate a business accounting software, design a microscopy course, be a scientific illustrator
It was great to have @Matt_Lucy_JDS visiting today. He shared his "Epic Paper" 🙂 with us. It is really EPIC, such great science and discussion. Thank you for taking the time to visit @Animal_DairySci !
Zamorano students visit at @Animal_DairySci, it was great to have you all here @EAPZamorano Labor Omnia Vincit!
