We were very pleased that two papers from the project were presented at the Nordic Science and Technology Studies conference on 20-21 May, which was hosted (online) by Copenhagen Business School. I presented a paper on IVF treatment \u2018add-ons\u2019 from the perspectives of IVF patients and partners, fertility professionals, and the UK regulator. This paper explored the category of add-ons as something that exists \u2018outside\u2019 or on the boundary of what is considered \u2018routine\u2019 IVF. It considered how such a category works differently across national regulation, professional practice and patient experiences of treatment. Manuela presented a paper on \u2018the travel of reproductive imaging from the lab to the social world\u2019, drawing on material from patient interviews to explore what happens when images of embryos are encountered outside of the lab or clinic setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that all of our fieldwork is completed, we are excited to be able to start thinking across all the elements of our research. We will be sharing more of these findings over the course of the next months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
