The idea that an unborn baby progresses through supposed evolutionary stages during development has long been debunked. But it's still taught in textbooks!
A new MP3 sermon from Answers in Genesis Ministries is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: No Evolution in Embryology Subtitle: Answers with Ken Ham Speaker: Ken Ham Broadcaster: Answers in Genesis Ministries Event: Radio Broadcast Date: 6/1/2026 Length: 1 min.
A journey through the evolutionary history of animals, beginning with the split of the metazoans from protists about 760 million years ago and ending with the rise of the amniotes about 340 million years ago. The focus is the development of key morphological traits necessary for more complex animal forms, including the origin of true tissues, bilaterial symmetry, the complete gut, the coelom, internal skeletons, and limbs. We conclude with an analysis of key adaptions that allowed amniotes to life in a wider range of terrestrial habitats.

Send us Fan MailWhy can two embryos both be genetically normal, both be labeled AA, and even be tested by the same genetics company… yet still have very different chances of leading to pregnancy?In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols breaks down one of the biggest misunderstandings in IVF: the idea that “normal” means “equal.” He explains what PGT-A really tells us, why embryo grading is useful but limited, and how two embryos with the same label can still have very different biologic potential. He also dives into why IVF lab quality matters so much — from culture conditions and air handling to biopsy skill, freezing, thawing, and transfer technique.If you have ever wondered why one euploid embryo works while another does not, or why some clinics may have better outcomes than others, this episode helps make sense of it all in a clear, patient-friendly way.

Welcome to this episode of The Fertility Podcast, in conversation with the HFEA and Emma Whitney aka Emma the Embryologist Director of Embryology and Genetics at The Evewell also a trustee for Fertility Action. You'll hear from both ladies, about the work that is being done to help you make a more informed decision when it comes to choosing a fertility clinic. What we discussed: -What the HFEA does, how it is set up to license and inspect all fertility clinics and embryo research centres-The duty it has to share data, which it has recorded since 1991 and it publishes data on what is happening across the UK-The increase in IVF cycles has increased to 1 child in every classroom and how the laws are strict anonymity rules in terms of who can access information about who has treatment. -Increase in same sex couple and single patients having treatment -Increase in number of people freezing their eggs and the usage-Funded cycles by the NHS and privately funded and how people are getting the money together - from remortgaging their house, doing crowd funding, bike rides for charity-Plea for GP's and primary care service providers to refer people as quickly as possible -Issues around outcomes in Black women and what more patients can do to get a referral from a primary care provider and how it's an outrage that there is such discrepancy. -Choose a Fertility Clinic service - on the HFEA website, if you're looking for a clinic and how you can look by postcode / name of clinic and there's information on what the Inspectors think of the clinic. There's an ability for other patients to rate it and how the feedback goes directly to inspectors. -How one of the most important considerations is location. -How the impact of social media and friends and family might affect your decisions and why it's good to look at more than one clinic and that there are more and more clinics doing online open evenings as what might have been good for your friend, it has to be right for you. -How today people talk about it much more on social media -Emma shared her personal story and how she became a trustee for Fertility Action. -Emma gives her insights on the Choose a fertility clinic data and we discuss what else patients need to be mindful of in terms of discrepencies and age consideration.

Jesse Hoogland and Daniel Murfet, founders of Timaeus, introduce their mathematically rigorous approach to AI safety through "developmental interpretability" based on Singular Learning Theory. They explain how neural network loss landscapes are actually complex, jagged surfaces full of "singularities" where models can change internally without affecting external behavior—potentially masking dangerous misalignment. Using their Local Learning Coefficient measure, they've demonstrated the ability to identify critical phase changes during training in models up to 7 billion parameters, offering a complementary approach to mechanistic interpretability. This work aims to move beyond trial-and-error neural network training toward a more principled engineering discipline that could catch safety issues during training rather than after deployment.

On This Episode We Discuss: In this episode we explore genetic testing in low risk populations, both in direct-to-consumer and clinical settings. We interview authors on two recent JoGC papers related to topics of communication of health risks, understanding of genetic testing, and informed decision-making. You can find the Journal of Genetic Counseling webpage via onlinelibrary.wiley.com or via the National Society of Genetic Counselors website. Segment 1: An analysis of direct-to-consumer genetic testing portals and their communication of health risk and test limitations Nicole Lee is an associate professor of communication in the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences at Arizona State University. Her research examines the intersection of science communication, public relations, and digital media. This work has been applied to many contexts including climate change, biodiversity research, wellness products, and direct-to-consumer genetic testing. x: @lee_nicole linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicoleleepr/ In this segment we discuss: - What motivated the exploration of how direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing companies communicate health risks to consumers. - Potential impacts on consumers who may misinterpret relative risk when presented without adequate context. - Importance of genetic counselors in improving interpretation and communication of DTC genetic test results. - Suggestions for enhancing transparency and clarity in communicating health risks to consumers. Segment 2: Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening: Testing Motivations and Decision Making in the Low-Risk Population Meagan Choates, MS, CGC is the Assistant Program Director of the University of Texas Genetic Counseling Program and Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at the McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston where she practices prenatal genetic counseling. She received a BS in Biochemistry and Genetics with a Minor in Psychology from Texas A&M University in 2014 and an MS in Genetic Counseling from the University of Texas Genetic Counseling Program in 2016. Meagan provides prenatal genetic counseling services at several Houston area clinics, and supervises genetic counseling students while on their prenatal rotation. In addition, she directs and teaches the genetic counseling program's Embryology course and Approaches to Genetic Counseling Research I & II. She co-directs and teaches in the program's Prenatal Genetic Counseling, Psychosocial Issues, and Psychosocial Practicum courses. She additionally oversees the genetic counseling students' Master of Science thesis research process. Her personal research interests include understanding how genetic screening and testing options are discussed, utilized, and interpreted in the clinical setting. ResearchGate profile: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Meagan-Choates-2 In this segment we discuss: - The anecdotal observations that inspired the study, notably that low-risk and high-risk patients shared similar motivations for choosing NIPT. - That insurance coverage was the second most significant factor influencing the decision to undergo NIPT. - About 44% of participants were classified as making "uninformed decisions" despite receiving pre-test counseling from a genetic counselor. However, the term “uninformed” used by the MMIC tool can be misleading. - The challenge of balancing detailed knowledge expectations with patients' ability to make value-consistent and thoughtful decisions.

Send us a textIn this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols explores the hidden side of embryo development: cellular death. Why do some embryos that seem perfectly viable fail to implant? Dr. Amols breaks down the science behind apoptosis and necrosis, two types of cell death, and explains why some embryos may already be on the path to cellular death even before transfer. Learn about the challenges in detecting these processes and how cellular death can influence IVF outcomes. Whether you're undergoing fertility treatment or supporting someone who is, this episode sheds light on the reasons some embryos fail and offers comfort to those navigating the difficult emotions that come with it.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

Lynne's specialty, developmental pediatrics, is all about how infants and children develop and is closely related to neurology in many cases. So, when she read about a case of an infant with a head circumference too big for the baby's age, it took her right back to her clinical training. However, the cause of the enlargement was not what she expected. This week, Lynne will discuss the unusual phenomenon in which one fetus absorbs another.
