I am a scientist studying the effects of chemicals and other hazards in the work place and their effects on male reproduction. Much of my research is evaluating sperm samples from men working in different work environments. (thus the "Dr. Sperm").

I work for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). This is the only U.S. Federal Agency dedicated to conducting research to determine hazards in the workplace, in order that all Americans can have a safe and healthy work environment.

I am a member of the American Society of Andrology (ASA). Andrology is the study of the male, primarily the male reproductive system.
