This mini clip is taken from healthHackers episode 40 with Professor Simon Fishel - the British multi-award-winning, pioneering scientist and fertility specialist who’s responsible for more than 30,000 babies!

When the world’s first in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinic - Bourn Hall in Cambridgeshire - was set up in 1980, Simon was part of the original team carrying out the revolutionary new technique - in the face of some major societal resistance to the practice that ranged from “horror to abject rejection,” he told me.

He’s published over 200 clinical papers and edited four books.
