23.01.2022 Australian researchers have highlighted how different pollutants can influence reproduction processes in our wildlife. These pollutants can have direct effects on the development and function of the reproductive organs in various species, but they can also influence many other important reproductive processes, such reproductive timing and sexual communication and selection. Importantly, the review proposes strategies that could prevent some of these negative consequences. ... Read more: https://www.reproductivehealthaustralia.org.au//highlight/

21.01.2022 Science & Technology Australia and Professionals Australia invite you to participate in the annual Professional Scientist Employment and Remuneration Survey. Through this survey, you will contribute to the most comprehensive benchmark report of scientist remuneration and employment conditions in Australia. The survey will also provide important insights into the unprecedented impact that COVID-19 has had on Australia’s scientific workforce. Your responses will provide an impo...rtant glimpse into Australia’s science sector which, in turn, will help us advocate with and for this sector to Government, policymakers and the Australian public. The more scientists who participate, the more comprehensive and meaningful these results will be. What do people need to know? The survey takes 10-15 minutes to complete. It is entirely anonymous. It is open to all science professionals in Australia. All survey participants can enter the draw to win one of two $500 JB HiFi vouchers. The survey closes on 27 June 2021. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SciRem21STA

16.01.2022 A review by Australian researchers provides a timely reminder of why, and how, knowledge of animal reproduction is being harnessed to optimise calving/lambing rates and to improve productivity in livestock breeding.

07.01.2022 An international research team led by scientists at the Robinson Research Institute in Adelaide has published an important new article proposing a new concept for the cause of premature menopause. The authors propose a previously unrecognised link between certain genetic changes and an early loss of follicles in the ovary, which could ultimately lead to early menopause. This research uncovers new strategies to discover the causes of, and potential treatments for, premature menopause. Read more here https://www.reproductivehealthaustralia.org.au//researche/

06.01.2022 An Australian-led publication has put forward a new theory of how Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) could develop. Researchers suggest that genes involved in the development of the ovary in the fetus could be linked to the development of PCOS later in life. The next step is to discover the factors that alter these genes during foetal development and to use this knowledge to identify strategies to prevent PCOS.
