"Itโs no surprise that fertility is dropping in many countries, which demographers attribute to factors such as higher education levels among people who give birth, rising incomes, and expanded access to contraceptives. The United States is at 1.6 instead of the requisite 2.1, for example, and China and Taiwan are hovering at about 1.2 and one, respectively." https://www.doi.org/10.1126/science.ze0x33r #Research #DOI #Demography #Health #News #Science #STEM #Global #Population #Academia #Academic #Academics @science

Speaker: "Leaders of the world, I greet you today with urgency. It's become of the upmost important to the future financial stability of our nations that our people stop ****ing golf balls!"

Should we tell that sperm that isn't an egg, or just let him find out by himself?
