Archives Centre - Bob Edwards Centenary - 26th September 2025

Recording of a panel session on Robert Edwards’ Life and Legacy, part of the Bob Edwards centenary conference: His life, work and legacy, 26th September 2025. The recording begins with a presentation of relevant images (00:00-05:19) which was shown before the panel session. The soundtrack in the background is taken from a lecture on “The Future of IVF” by Bob Edwards (given at a conference of Alpha, Scientists in Reproductive Medicine, in Copenhagen in 1999). The panel session features chair Roger Highfield (Science Director of the Science Museum Group); Dr Jenny Joy (Bob’s daughter and creator of his archive); Professor Sir Richard Gardner (Bob’s PhD student and Oxford University Lecturer); Louise Brown (the first IVF baby); Emma Barnett (British Broadcaster and Journalist with a young IVF child); Fiona Bennett (former Executive Editor of Reproductive BioMedicine Online journal which Bob started); and Dr Mike Macnamee (former CEO of Bourn Hall Clinic who knew Bob well). ** Blog post about the Bob Edwards centenary: https://archives.chu.cam.ac.uk/news/c...
