Way to go! A enormous effort to make science work in Spain

Elena Camacho Aguilar @ecamagu.bsky.social · 10d

After two years of navigating endless bureaucracy, we finally got all the permits and ethical approvals needed in Spain to use human embryonic stem cell lines in our project @cabd-upo-csic.bsky.social! A big step forward, I can’t believe it finally happened! #NewPI #Milestone #StemCells #PinchMe

Grace Davidson gives birth to baby Amy Isabel after receiving her sister’s womb in 2023 Surgeons are hailing an “astonishing” medical breakthrough as a woman became the first in the UK to give birth after a womb transplant. Grace Davidson, 36, who was a teenager when diagnosed with a rare condition that meant she did not have a uterus, said she and her husband, Angus, 37, had been given “the greatest gift we could ever have asked for”.

Today, Andrea, the first member of the group, gave her first @cabd-upo-csic.bsky.social seminar presenting her work in the lab. She did an amazing job! 👏🏻👏🏻 I’m so proud of her! #newpinews

The image shows a speaker giving a seminar. The projected slide shows some sketches giving a brief introduction to early human development.

A woman studies embryos for decades, struggles for funding and respect. She publishes under her husband’s name, until they divorce. A single mother, she moves across an ocean to continue her studies. It all sounds quite modern, until you learn that she also worried she’d be burned as a witch. 🧵 1/15

Really enjoyed my first time as a member of a PhD thesis committee. One of the best PhD presentations I have seen, very clear & engaging despite the really hard and complex work behind it. Big congrats to Dr. Klepstad and her advisor Luciano Marcon! Thanks for inviting me!

Centro Andaluz de Biología del Desarrollo @cabd-upo-csic.bsky.social · Dec 5

Julie's PhD committee was formed by:@omeuxeito.bsky.social from @CNB-csic.bsky.social, @elecamagu.bsky.social from #CABD & Luis Merino from University Pablo de Olavide!
A great end to this adventure studying embryogenesis using computational tools!We wish Dr. Klepstad the best in the new challenge!
