Coming Events
Research Tuesdays: sharing great research with the community We're born like that: New research shows males and females approach risk-taking differently even in utero An incredible new chapter has been revealed in the still unfolding story of human in-utero development. Research at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's Robinson Institute has shown the human fetus is able to deliberately slow and modify its development in response to a sub-optimal maternal environment, such as if the mother has a pre-existing disease or suffers extreme stress. This increases its chances of survival. But remarkably, only female fetuses use the ability. Males instead "roll the dice" and attempt to continue growing at their normal rate, placing them at greater risk should further complications arise. Associate Professor Vicki Clifton discusses this fascinating growth mechanism and its possible implications for managing pregnancy. Don't miss this special event.
