I did it!
I finished my #ReproductiveBiology essay with 2 days to spare. Now I have to avoid re-reading it too many times and panicking that it’s awful and messing it up. Heading into town for a vitamin infusion shortly, then tonight is hanging out with the family time.

Happy Saturday internet friends.
I’m covering a holiday shift at the clinic today, but only 4 clients and I finish at 4.

Will spend tonight relaxing with the family, before finishing up my #ReproductiveBiology essay tomorrow.

Woke this morning with pain when I blink and some redness and swelling on my waterline. Hoping it’s just a small sty or temporary thing, haven’t had conjunctivitis in decades.

What do you have planned this Saturday?

Oh, also here is one of the twins for #Caturday

I hate writing the introduction to essays, I never know what to say. I feel the whole “tell them the problem, tell them what you’re going to tell them” intro is repetitive and weird.

Help?

I don’t know if I’m misunderstanding the research papers I read today, but am I correct in thinking only stem cells harvested from a male can go through spermatogenesis (and alternatively stem cells from females, oogenesis) ? #AskMastodon #AcademicChatter #ReproductiveBiology

I really like my essay tutor, but he has started to get vague in his answers to my question. I guess I’m getting close to what I need to write about.
I just need to work out how to describe Derivation of sperm cells from ES cells and iPS sells. 😬 #ReproductiveBiology #InVivo #StemCells #MaleInfertility

Happy Sunday Mastodon.
Sundays are for #studying, and today I’ll be using most of my time gathering reviews and papers for my essay:
“Discuss the pros and cons of using ES cell derived sperm as a solution to the problem of male infertility”

If anyone in @academicchatter has recommendations that would be amazing, otherwise it’s head down for me #Research #ReproductiveBiology #MaleInfertility #StemCells

Nice overview of the history and current state of assisted reproductive technology (ART).

"Parenthood is now possible for people who never imagined it in their futures, including same-sex couples and single parents, thanks to such refinements as egg donors, surrogacy and the successful freezing of eggs, sperm and embryos."
