ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Karin Thayer is the Founder/CEO of Fertility Planit. Originally from San Francisco, she earned her BA at Smith College and her MFA at the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Her work as a TV producer has taken her all over the world, working with clients such as the BBC, Discovery, PBS and Oxygen Media. Her award winning films have screened at festivals including Sundance, Telluride and the Berlinale.
During a long and challenging journey with trying to have a child, Karin decided to "fly solo" into motherhood. She experienced multiple IVF and IUI treatments, years of acupuncture and mind-body-spirit therapies, and failed pregnancies. Throughout her experience she yearned for a comprehensive online resource which she could customize. Fertility Planit is the resource Karin couldn't find. It's a one-stop shop for people who want to have children and create a family, and for all services that support them. In 2011 Fertility Planit became an Astia Silicon Valley portfolio client.
In 2010, after being told by specialists she would never conceive, Karin got pregnant naturally with a known donor. Her healthy baby boy was born in April 2011. She now wants to help make the path lighter for others.
Karin is an experienced TV producer and can speak openly about her own fertility journey as well as the business and tradeshow she started to help make the path lighter for all people who wish to create a family. For further information , please contact: info@fertilityplanit.com.

Prompt Proofing Blog Post: Book Review on The Art of Hearing Heartbeats by Jan-Philipp Sendker
2012-08-24
This book - excellently translated from the original German - reads almost like poetry in prose, the language is so well utilized. And that is just one reason to give this one a read.
Following a plot that takes us from modern day New York City to pre-WWII rural Burma, the narrative is complex yet enthralling, and although your mind will be frantically trying to put all the pieces together to come up with the overall picture, it's really best to sit back and exercise some patience while the book does it for you, as the resulting image will be infinitely better.
It's ...
Novel technique to synthesize nanocrystals that harvest solar energy
2012-08-24
One reason that solar energy has not been widely adopted is because light absorbing materials are not durable. Materials that harvest solar radiation for energy often overheat or degrade over time; this reduces their viability to compete with other renewable energy sources like wind or hydroelectric generators. A new video protocol addresses these issues by presenting a synthesis of two inorganic nanocrystals, each of which is more durable than their organic counterparts. The article, published in Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE), focuses on the liquid phase synthesis ...
Learning 1 of cancer's tricks
2012-08-24
PASADENA, Calif.— Behaving something like ravenous monsters, tumors need plentiful supplies of cellular building blocks such as amino acids and nucleotides in order to keep growing at a rapid pace and survive under harsh conditions. How such tumors meet these burgeoning demands has not been fully understood. Now chemists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have shown for the first time that a specific sugar, known as GlcNAc ("glick-nack"), plays a key role in keeping the cancerous monsters "fed." The finding suggests new potential targets for therapeutic ...
More clues about why chimps and humans are genetically different
2012-08-24
Ninety-six percent of a chimpanzee's genome is the same as a human's. It's the other 4 percent, and the vast differences, that pique the interest of Georgia Tech's Soojin Yi. For instance, why do humans have a high risk of cancer, even though chimps rarely develop the disease?
In research published in September's American Journal of Human Genetics, Yi looked at brain samples of each species. She found that differences in certain DNA modifications, called methylation, may contribute to phenotypic changes. The results also hint that DNA methylation plays an important role ...
March Madness brings September students
2012-08-24
Whether you call it the Flutie Effect or the Jimmer Bump, a banner year in NCAA men's basketball or football is followed by a flood of prospective students.
Economists at Brigham Young University and the University of Chicago studied where students chose to send their SAT scores. Universities received approximately 10 percent more scores from prospective students following a stellar sports season.
Initially, these surges are fueled by certain types of students: out-of-staters, males, black students and those who played sports in high school. But teams who advance to ...

2012-08-24
Boulder, Colo., USA – New Geology postings include understanding the "Mystery Interval" during the last deglaciation in the Northern Hemisphere; examining topographic change and recovery after the 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunami; asking whether self-mutilation or self-amputation in sea lilies was an adaptive response during the Paleozoic; discovering that powerfully erosive behavior can occur even on the lee side of a topographic barrier; and demonstrating for the first time that the PTB biotic crisis was probably triggered by enormous Plinian eruptions.
