Introducing the I3 Team

Welcome to Episode 1 of The International IVF Initiative Podcast where we look forward to sharing our people, our conversations and our insight into the world of ART. In this episode, you will hear from the founding members of I3 about how they came together as the Pandemic saw our everyday life be put on pause.

What was discussed:

• ‘IVF in the Time of Covid-19’
• They found it so new and strange to have over 2k people signed up for first session and the feedback was instantly positive, so the initiative quickly grew from strength to strength.
• Thomas Elliott explained how he was very early in developing websites and created an embryology website called The embryological resources website, along with web pages for Alpha
• and he registered the URL for www.IVF.net
• You will also hear from the rest of the team with Dr Peter Nagy talking about his involvement and his favourite sessions so far. Peter shares how he loves the pure science and the best professionals on the topic are sharing their wisdom and in particular how they are reaching a new generation.
• Shaista Sadruddin continued to explain as she talks about her involvement and moderating the questions that come in during the session and what she is doing for young professionals. Shaista hosted the ‘Young Guns’ session
