View Article  What is a "Human Admixed Embryo"? - an article by Julian Hitchcock
In the language of developmental biology, an “embryo” arises with the appearance, on the surface of the growing ball of cells created following conception, of a feature known as the “primitive streak”. In effect, this is the point at which the cells display the characteristics of a vertebrate. In humans, this happens at about 14 days following fertilisation. Before then, the developing ball of cells is known as a “blastocyst”. The Human Fertilisation & Embryology Act 1990 (the “Act”) made the word “embryo” include the blastocyst.   more »

Welcome to Mums in Science

This site has been designed as a portal for busy mums who work or have worked in science.

Too many women leave science due to the constraints of motherhood. Some struggle, and work part time, at the expense of advancing their career. Others change their career to fit in with their children, whilst working within some area of science.

Our aims are :-

  • to create a community to provide mutual support,
  • to provide information to those who have the challenge of bringing up children and maintaining a career in science, whether full or part time, or outside mainstream science.

This site is updated regularly with new articles and occasional special offers. Everything is accessible on the site. However, if you would like to receive notices of new additions to the site you can subscribe to the site and receive e-mails as soon as a new article is posted to your selected categories or to all the site.

We welcome comments about MumsinScience, what you like, what you don't like, or how we can improve.

PLEASE LET US KNOW, just email comments@mumsinscience.net
