The Nobel Prize
@NobelPrizeSep 27
Do you know anyone who has been helped by human in vitro fertilisation (IVF) therapy? Robert Edwards was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize for the development of human in vitro fertilisation (IVF) therapy. His achievements made it possible to treat infertility, a medical condition afflicting a large proportion of humanity. As early as the 1950s, Edwards had the vision that IVF could be useful as a treatment for infertility. He worked systematically to realise his goal, discovered important principles for human fertilisation, and succeeded in accomplishing fertilisation of human egg cells in test tubes (or more precisely, cell culture dishes). His efforts were finally crowned by success on 25 July, 1978, when the world’s first “test tube baby” was born. During the following years, Edwards and his co-workers refined IVF technology and shared it with colleagues around the world. Read more about Edwards' life-changing achievement: nobelprize.org/prizes/medici…
This image illustrates natural fertilization and IVF. The natural fertilization side shows steps: egg maturation in an ovary, ovulation, fertilization by sperm, cell division, and implantation in the uterus. The IVF side depicts egg isolation in a petri dish, fertilization by adding sperm, and implantation into the uterus. Both processes are visually represented with diagrams of female reproductive anatomy.

Expensive exam fees have always been an unfair financial burden for resident doctors trying to progress in their careers. But this is set to change. As agreed in the deal made with the government earlier this year, resident doctors will soon be able to apply to have Medical Royal College and Faculty exams reimbursed. A complete list of Medical Royal College and Faculty exams that will be covered is now available on our website and the Academy's website. bma.org.uk/our-campaigns/res… The system is expected to go live in the next few weeks, along with guidance on how to claim. Stay tuned for further updates 👀
Exam reimbursement. Exam list now published. The full list of Royal College and Faculty exams eligible for reimbursement is now available. Claims open in the coming weeks.
