      Male and female fertility has been decreasing in western countries over the last 50 years with around 1 in 6 people now seeking IVF. This has occured at the same time as an increase in diseases like diabetes which are accelerated by poor diet and sedentary lifestyles. Therefore, my research in diet and exercise and sperm biology could find out whether these factors are directly linked to poor sperm function. Throughout my degree I was always interested in developmental or reproductive biology so this research post was exactly what I wanted.
