A shout out to various members of my team who have been spending way too much time recently in dark basements imaging bits of placenta with the new lightsheet microscope (with much troubleshooting) and processing the resulting datasets… but the results when it works! 🤩 @anzpra1.bsky.social
The placenta could be the key to solving stillbirth. Why? @dranyaarthurs.bsky.social explains at our free event, co-hosted by Healthy Development Adelaide (HDA).
