Let's talk about the side of science that doesn't always show up in the final paper: the frustration, the trial and error, and the persistence. 💡🔬

2025 SSR Repro BioArt awardee Dr. Lyda Yuliana Parra Forero opens up about what it takes to get an award-winning result—and why having a strong support network makes all the difference. 🤝

"I just really wanted to give credit to these animals that have given their lives to further our research..." ❤️🐭

Why did PhD student Avery Hlavacek submit a mouse portrait to a BioArt competition? Because without animal models, modern reproductive medicine wouldn't be where it is today.

In this clip from The Future Conceived, Avery reflects on the crucial contributions that lab animals make to human health, disease research, and our understanding of fertility.

Epivara had a great time at the Society for the Study of Reproduction's 59th Annual Meeting! We enjoyed sharing our work and learning from you, too.

Epivara is dedicated to bringing about epic change in how we manage animal reproduction. That means no more spay or neuter surgeries for pets, safer and more painless reproductive management for farm animals, and less stress for the people who care for them.

Science is art in itself... we're just adding the color. 🎨🧫

Check out how 2025 SSR Repro BioArt awardee Dr. Lyda Yuliana Parra Forero created her winning 3D bovine embryo image!

By staining for F-actin (green) and nuclei (magenta) and capturing Z-stacks on a confocal microscope, her lab isn't just taking pretty pictures—they're gathering key data on cell compaction, proliferation, and differentiation. 🧬✨

📢 Opportunity for SSR Trainees: Share Your Research & Publishing Journey!

The SSR Trainee Journal Club is looking for volunteer speakers! This is a virtual, informal, and fully trainee-led space designed to go beyond the data on the printed page.

If you're a trainee who published a paper in 2026 (or expects to by the end of the year), we want to hear from you.

Here is a thought experiment for the researchers out there: Are the biomarkers you study actually meaningful to the organism, or are they just a human interpretation? 🤔🔬

In our newest episode, Dr. Corey Maley challenges how we look at biological data. Tree rings are a great representation of time for us, but the tree itself isn’t using them to count years or make decisions. So, when does a biological feature cross the line from a simple "biomarker" into a literal "computation" used by the cell?

It’s a philosophical question that could change how you view your next lab experiment. Watch the clip to learn more, and catch the full episode at the link in the comments! 🎧
