Celebrating 40 Years of Human Reproduction!

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.
