The Provocateurs

From a flat sheet of cells in the womb to mini-brains in lab incubators, Dr Rana Fetit (The University of Edinburgh) unpacks brain development using stem cells and organoids. As the Edinburgh Medical School turns 300, Professor Roger Jeffery (The University of Edinburgh) asks why women were excluded. Why was there such a long gap from the first efforts to gain admission in 1869 to success in 1916? Part of the Edinburgh Medical School’s 300th Anniversary.
