Futureproof Extra: The Benefits of Sperm Swimming in Groups

from Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea

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.
