The award recognizes a member of the SSR (Society for the Study of Reproduction) who has demonstrated unselfish service and leadership in advancing the discipline of reproductive biology.
It is a pleasure for me to recognize these outstanding SSR scientists and leaders for their accomplishments in research, service, and mentorship. We honor these members for showing us the joy of a life dedicated to science. On behalf of all the members of SSR, I congratulate them. - Blanche Capel, PhD, President of the SSR
The Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR) was founded in 1967 to promote the study of reproduction by fostering interdisciplinary communication among scientists, holding conferences, and publishing meritorious studies, and contributing to the development and mentoring of young scientists.
Today the SSR is a global association of more than 1200 active members, including scientists, veterinarians, students, and physicians, representing over 50 countries. Some members are engaged in basic or applied research, while others perform clinical practice. All are dedicated to advancing knowledge of reproductive processes in animals and in humans.
My first talk at a conference was as a graduate student when I presented at the SSR meeting in Laramie, Wyoming in 1984, and I recall being very, very nervous about it! I received such kind support from my fellow students and leading scientists at the time, and as a result, I have always strived to help others do their best and to not fear the challenge of taking on leadership roles. I am grateful for receiving this support and encouragement of my peers 40 years later. - Professor Kate Loveland, Research Group Head, Testis Development and Male Germ Cell Biology, Centre for Reproductive Health at Hudson Institute of Medical Research
