Scientists in Israel have created a model of a human embryo from stem cells in the laboratory, without using sperm, eggs or a womb, offering a unique glimpse into the early stages of embryonic development. The model resembles an embryo at day 14, when it acquires internal structures but before it lays down the foundations for body organs, according to the team at Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science.

The funding allows for a three year extension of the successful Psychiatry Workforce Program, delivered by the RANZCP, which encourages more medical graduates to pursue psychiatry, supports additional psychiatry training posts and supervisors, and develops a rural psychiatry training pathway and network.

Hydrogen is a possible alternative in this field. When hydrogen is produced using water electrolysis that is powered by renewable energy sources, the potential is much greater.
