Anne McLaren, the British scientist and author, is celebrated in today's Google Doodle on what would have been her 94th birthday. McLaren is considered to be one of the most significant reproductive biologists of the 20th century due to her fundamental research on embryology, which was crucial to the development of IVF technology.

Anna McLaren was born in London on April 26, 1927. In 1936, she played a small role in the H.G. Wells sci-fi movie, The Shape of Things to Come, and in her scene, which was set in 2054, her great-grandfather lectured her on the advancement of space technology that had put mice on the moon. McLaren would later credit this experience as an early inspiration for her love of science.
