Nick Long has been called the grandfather of superconductors and for good reason. He's the reason why one of the coldest, hottest, and most powerful superconductor electric rocket thrusters ever to be tested in space, is being built in a hi-tech shed at the bottom of Wainuiomata Hill. Long, from the Robinson Research Institute, has spent three decades helping crack the puzzle that makes superconductors usable. The thrusters are scheduled to be launched in February next year and will head to the International Space Station, and one day, maybe Mars. He explains how it's all going to work.

In this informative episode I speak with Professor Sarah Robertson, Director of the University of Adelaide's Robinson Research Institute and Head of the Reproductive Immunology research group about her fascinating research into fertility and the immune system. We discuss the role of the immune system in successful reproductive outcomes as well as the contentious issue of natural killer cells and why current popular treatment may do more harm than good! You will also learn way's you can support healthy immune function to improve your chances of a healthy pregnancy . Professor Robertson is known internationally for innovative research in reproductive immunology that has formed the basis for a new understanding of the origins of health at conception. She has identified specific cytokines and immune cells that regulate embryo implantation and fetal development, and has demonstrated that male seminal fluid acts to induce adaptations in the female immune response that promote receptivity to pregnancy. Her work shows that the immune system channels environmental signals from both female and male parents to contribute to reproductive success and shape offspring phenotype through non-genomic pathways. These discoveries are improving practise in reproductive medicine and providing insight into early life origins of child health. Her work is funded by the NHMRC, the Australian Research Council, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Global Alliance for Prevention of Prematurity and Stillbirth / Gates Foundation.

Most of us know that too much sugar is generally not great for us. We shouldn't be eating too many cakes and lollies because it contributes to weight gain and inflammation. In this webinar, we look beyond the diet. Beyond the calories and find out what sugar is actually doing to our cells at a biological level and how that impacts our ability to conceive and carry a healthy baby. I speak with Associate Professor M. Louise Hull about her research into the impact of a high sugar diet on fertility and pregnancy outcomes. Associate Professor M. Louise Hull is a gynaecologist and reproductive medicine physician with a biomedical science background. She leads the Endometriosis Research Group at the Robinson Research Institute and the Implantation Special Interest Group for the Asia Pacific initiative for Reproductive Medicine (ASPIRE). Dr Hull works at Women's and Children's Hospital and in private practice at O and G in North Adelaide. Dr Hull's practice focuses on improving fertility and early pregnancy outcomes for women with implantation problems. Recently she has explored the impact of disorders of glucose metabolism on implantation and miscarriage in clinical practice. Assoc Prof Hull co-founded the FertilitySA IVF unit and was their scientific and new developments director. She supervises PhD students, medical students, chairs the AGES grant committee, is deputy chair of the RANZCOG grant committee and was an Associate Editor for Human Reproduction. She is an International ambassador for the World Congress of Endometriosis. If you find this webinar useful and would like to take that next step in you fertility journey.

In this Healthed lecture, Prof Marshall, Immunologist & Vaccinologist; Medical Director, Vaccinology and Immunology Research Trials Unit, Women's and Children's Hospital; Deputy Director, Robinson Research Institute, University of Adelaide, explains why there aren't many diseases that cause as much fear among both the general public and medical practitioners as meningitis. With good reason. Few illnesses can cause such devastation in such a short time frame. Fortunately, vaccines are reducing the incidence of meningitis. In this presentation, Prof Helen Marshall will outline the current state of play in terms of which meningitis vaccines are available, what's on the free list and what's not, and how we can promote optimal protection.

Poor health is a common problem for many newborn babies in low-resource settings. One way to help with this might be through the delivery of educational care packages to mothers and communities, and a new Cochrane review from November 2019 looked at the evidence for these. We asked lead author Zohra Lassi from the Robinson Research Institute at the University of Adelaide in Australia to take us through the findings of the review.
