Of Mice and (Wo)men

Earlier this week, researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center identified almost 350 genes that may be connected to female fertility. The study was conducted on mice but according to UT’s assistant professor of pathology, “Ovarian biology is very similar in mice and humans.”

Start Your Engines!

Today is the infamous Monster Mile at the Dover Speedway in Delaware. Where over 130,000 people pay good money to watch adults go around and around and around for over 400 laps on a tiny little track. Seemingly going nowhere but focused on the finish line. How do they not get dizzy?

PIO, Oh my oh!

There are several things that can scare folks away from assisted reproduction techniques.
