What is going on with The Royals? A surgery following King Charles enlarged prostate, William's sudden leave, and until yesterday we hadn't seen a glimpse of Princess Kate in public for months, after undergoing a planned abdominal surgery for a serious but undisclosed health condition. 

The internet blew up with conspiracies of what might've really happened to Kate, everything from BBL's to bangs. But why are we so distrustful of the information the Royal Family has given us? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we'll take a look at what is going on with the British Royals and why we feel like something terrible must have happened.

Last year when the popularity of weight loss drugs surged, it lead to a worldwide shortage, that is still going on today. In a bid to assist with those shortages, some compounding pharmacists mass-produced their own versions of popular weight-loss drugs.

Earlier this week the TGA, which regulates medicines in Australia, proposed a change which would effectively ban compounded injectable weight loss drugs from being made or sold in Australia, due to concerns the drugs may be unsafe or ineffective. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we shed a light on the safety and effectiveness of compounded drugs compared to their commercial counterparts.

Dupes! We love them. They save us money. We feel so clever when we find them. 

From makeup to clothing, shoes and even water bottles, companies seem to be getting away with mimicking popular products. But how do they manage it? And what does it mean for the original creators? 

In this episode of The Quicky we look at dupe culture and the impacts and legalities around them.

Charlotte the stingray is an internet sensation. Why you ask? Because she's currently pregnant and despite researchers attempts, no one knows how! 

Charlotte has been in a tank in North Carolina, with no male sting rays in sight. So is this a case of sisters doing it for themselves? Or has some kind of cross breeding happened with Moe and Larry, two male white spot bamboo sharks that occupy the same tank? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a stingray expert to find out just how likely it is that Charlotte is about to be a mum to shark-ray babies.

When a patient at a fertility clinic wandered into an Alabama cryogenic embryo storage room in 2020, they caused a chain of events that has left the US state's IVF sector reeling. 

Several embryos were destroyed when the patient dropped them. Three couples brought lawsuits against the clinic; which lead to the question: Is a frozen embryo considered a child under Alabama state law? Well, the Supreme Court of Alabama ruled that, yes, a frozen embryo is indeed a child. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the implications of this High Court decision, and the likelihood of something like this happening here in our own IVF clinics.
