It was a great opportunity to share science in an accessible way and show how research on reproduction and fertility connects with both animals and everyday life. A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand, asked questions and took part in the activities! 🧡

🔬It was also a particularly exciting moment for her as she gave her first oral presentation. Her research explores the extracellular matrix of the porcine umbilical cord, focusing on glycosaminoglycans and their role in conceptus development.
