Check out this incredible paper by @YEWinstanley @dr_becky_r et al in @Nature Comms: Telomere length in offspring is determined by mitochondrial-nuclear communication at fertilization @ReproductionSRB @SSRepro

Nature Communications - The authors show that telomere length resetting in embryos, a key determinant of healthy aging, is established by mitochondrial function at conception.

What if we could turn back the clock and prolong fertility? Proud to see our work highlighted with @PepinLab @NUDuncanLab on this important societal issue.

Thrilled to have our work on AMH, along with the breakthroughs of my colleagues @NUDuncanLab and @dr_becky_r in ovarian aging featured in @NatGeo January edition. A good sign that this field is starting to be taken seriously. @MGH_RI #WomensHealth

As more and more people postpone parenthood, scientists are working on a moon shot effort to slow down the aging of the ovaries.

An incredible week at the @gatesfoundation #grandchallenges meeting. These leaders call for 'free and open curiosity-driven research' and 'diverse decision-makers in our turbulent world'.

How lucky were we to have Takashi Umehara work with us to discover that reversing fibrosis helps the ovary produce more eggs!

Treatments that remove excess collagen from the ovary facilitate the release of eggs and extend female fertility.

When the office overlooks the Oval you just gotta spend Friday afternoon taking the international lab members (and a few locals) to the cricket. And our #AdelaideStrikers gave them a mighty drubbing! (which means we won)

A wonderful summary of the huge impact of Marilyn’s basic science discoveries- by the Aus Academy of Science.
Sound proud of my mother @MarilynRenfree from @unimelb for winning the Macfarlane Burnet medal!! What an amazing roll model #womeninstem

Check out the cookies and lollies made by @maky_go for our lab party- Including precise relocalization of the ‘100s & 1000s’ across three phases of oocyte maturation and zygote pronucleus formation!

Young people have helped lead all our great movements. How inspiring to see it again in so many smart, fearless students standing up for their right to be safe; marching and organizing to remake the world as it should be. We've been waiting for you. And we've got your backs.
