Show Notes
We would traditionally associate sperm as solitary swimmers but new research suggests that the male reproductive cell can sometimes move into groups.
Joining Jonathan to discuss why this might be the case and what significance this behaviour could have on our future fertility is Chih-Kuan Tung of the Department of Physics at North Carolina A&T State University.
