Only once every four years do we have the privilege of presenting the Simmet Prize to someone who has truly advanced our field. In 2026, that honor goes to Peter J. Hansen. 🏆 At the 20th ICAR Congress in Obihiro, Japan, in front of more than 1,100 participants, the Distinguished Professor from the University of Florida received the Simmet Prize for Assisted Reproduction in recognition of his groundbreaking research on reducing the impact of heat stress on fertility in cattle. 🐄 Endowed with €50,000, the prize is sponsored by Minitube International and commemorates the pioneering work of Dr. Ludwig Simmet. Dr. Christian Simmet presented the award on behalf of the Simmet family to standing ovations from the congress. 👏 Congratulations, Professor Hansen! 🎉 #SimmetPrize #ICAR2026 #AnimalReproduction #ReproductiveBiology #Minitube
