The Cambridge Reproduction SRI has run a number of engaging interdisciplinary events around the theme of reproduction since its launch in 2018:
Cambridge Reproduction Forum
The Cambridge Reproduction Forum is held termly, and provides a relaxed opportunity for SRI members to meet and share current research. The usual format is a series of brief "flash" talks followed by an interdisciplinary dialogue or panel discussion.
We are always looking for people to take part in the Forum! If you would like to give a flash talk, take part in an interdisciplinary discussion or present your work in another way, please contact Christina Rozeik (coordinator@repro.cam.ac.uk).
