The Oxford Women in Physics society was founded to promote the career development of women in physics and to provide a welcoming support network for women in the department of physics at the University of Oxford. OxWIP aims to enhance the experience of women working in the department through increased interaction with peers, mentors, and role models.

CryoFuture is redefining fertility preservation through a tech-enabled nationwide network for long-term specimen storage and transportation. Acting as an extension of your lab, we partner with fertility clinics to deliver seamless, secure solutions that protect reproductive tissue while reducing operational burden and risk. Founded by embryologists with over 300 years of combined experience, our team is committed to supporting both clinics and patients. Our comprehensive services include long-term storage, secure transportation, RFID-enabled inventory management, patient billing and consent management, and tailored protection plans—all designed to safeguard specimens while streamlining clinic operations. CryoFuture’s storage network is built for unmatched resilience and oversight. Each location features a five-point security system, continuous temperature monitoring, and triple-redundant safeguards to protect specimens at every stage. EF-5-rated design ensures readiness for natural disasters, providing clinics and patients with unparalleled peace of mind. Every transport is managed by medically trained couriers, never outsourced to third-party carriers. Local transports use dedicated CryoFuture vehicles with advanced safety systems, while nationwide shipments travel in validated, pre-charged vapor tanks built for extended travel. Strict chain-of-custody protocols and rigorous pre- and post-transport checks ensure the integrity of every specimen. Our CryoFuture One™ platform simplifies onboarding, billing, and consent processes, while providing clinics with real-time inventory oversight. Patients gain transparency through a secure portal with detailed information about their stored specimens. Trusted by leading fertility networks nationwide, CryoFuture delivers tech-driven solutions that act as a seamless extension of your lab, protecting what matters most: the future of families.

In 1972, Alcor was incorporated as the Alcor Society for Solid State Hypothermia in the State of California by Fred and Linda Chamberlain. (The name was changed to Alcor Life Extension Foundation in 1977.) The nonprofit organization was conceived as a rational, technology-oriented cryonics organization that would be managed on a fiscally conservative basis by a self perpetuating Board. Alcor advertised in direct mailings and offered seminars in order to attract members and bring attention to the cryonics movement. On July 16, 1976, Alcor performed its first human cryopreservation. At this time, Alcor’s office consisted of a mobile surgical unit in a large van. Trans Time, Inc., a cryonics organization in the San Francisco Bay Area, provided long-term patient storage until Alcor began doing its own storage in 1982. By 1990 Alcor had grown to 300 members. In response to concerns that the California facility was too small and vulnerable to earthquake risk, the organization purchased a building in Scottsdale, Arizona in 1993 and moved its patients to it in 1994. In 1997, after a substantial effort led by then-president Steve Bridge, Alcor formed the Patient Care Trust as an entirely separate entity to manage and protect the funding for cryopatients. Alcor remains the only cryonics organization to segregate and protect patient funding in this way. Alcor currently has around 1,000 members and 117 patients.
