Career Milestones in Contraceptive R&D

This month, we’re reflecting on the personal milestones that brought us into the field — and the moments that made it meaningful. At the National Contraception Meeting in April 2025, we spoke with Jochen Buck (Weill Cornell), Laura Hertel (Nuapoch), Gustavo Doncel (CONRAD), Alison Edelman (OHSU), Will Skinner (Male Contraceptive Initiative), and Laneta Dorflinger (FHI 360) and others whose journeys inspired us.
