Celebrating 40 Years of Human Reproduction!

03 February 2026

2026 is a special year for Human Reproduction - our 40th anniversary, with the first issue published 1 January 1986.
To celebrate this special milestone, we will feature a number of events, including a return to a landmark article from each of the decades, accompanied by invited commentaries from one of the original authors. The first of these is written by Henry Leese and David Gardner who provide a fascinating insight into their original work (Hardy et al., 1989), published in 1989, (Leese and Gardner, 2026), including remarkable insights into the role played by individual characters.
