A new documentary episode, part of the Savoir média series Naissances du futur, takes an in-depth look at the causes of infertility and the realities of the diagnostic and treatment journey.

Two members of the Fit-For-Fertility research team, Dr. Jean-Patrice Baillargeon and Farrah Jean-Denis, are featured alongside other experts in reproductive health. The episode is available in French on Savoir média's platform.

What does a research visit actually look like? We went behind the scenes to find out.

In this video, we follow Alexandra through a research visit at the CHUS Research Centre — part of a follow-up study tracking the children born to women who participated in the original Fit-For-Fertility pilot study between 2012 and 2018. That study explored how adopting healthy lifestyle habits could support women living with obesity and infertility.

Alexandra, a master's student on our team, gave a presentation on myths surrounding obesity as part of the BistroBrain event.

Two of our students distinguished themselves by winning the Université de Sherbrooke’s science communication contest in the Medicine and Health Sciences category, thanks to a comic strip explaining the Fit-For-Fertility research protocol. They were subsequently invited to the annual Research and Graduate Studies Celebration, where their comic strip was showcased.
