Episode notes

With training, we can get people to count sperm within a ten % margin of error. Allan has been introducing this kind of training and quality control over the last three decades. That's why he's suspicious of data that was collected 30 years ago or even earlier in the 19 seventies. i don't find the study convincing, because it has no way of accounting for that type of variation.

In 2017, researchers published an explosive finding: Sperm counts may be declining in some countries around the world. Media outlets began worrying about a potential Spermageddon, but other researchers have pumped the brakes. Because scientists know surprisingly little about sperm.
