Darrens first international trip since lockdown!

Darren took his first international trip since lockdown to (reportedly his favourite place in the world) the beautiful city of Florence. The occasion was the annual meeting of the Italian reproductive medicine society (SISMER) theme on Dante’s Divine Comedy. Taking the part of “purgatory” and dressed as an angel and the devil, he and Carlos Simon took the audience through the embryo’s first days of life, form fertilisation to implantation. The talk was well received and, as always, host Luca Gianaroli put on a great scientific and social programme.
