This work was led by postdoc, Komal, and research scientist, Louise, @theCrick with the help of lots of others. The link to our biorxiv manuscript can be found here: Feedback welcome, thanks for reading! 🙏 (7/7)

Incredibly proud of Jesús from the lab for this stellar achievement! ☺️ Doing good science is not just done with a pipette, it also involves engaging with the various contextual issues and the wider community as well

Very interesting, and important, set of recommendations from Nuffield. Suggests 'bespoke' regulation of embryo models (not just the same as for embryos), supports the Code of Practice for case-by-case evaluation, but also suggests a 'red line' limit...

@PoloAug @PeterBeej @TheCrick Or, take a couple minutes to tell us YOUR opinion of embryo models. What excites/concerns you? Where should we draw the lines? What do you want to see in the future? How would you want regulations to be achieved?
