As I was being interviewed for a recent Tonic/VICE article by author Grant Stoddard about testicular implants, an interesting point was raised: Does the ole “bigger is better” notion that we typically associate with homes, jewels and penises also apply to testicles? Looking Pretty Down South Let’s start with a little perspective here. We humans do well with […]
It’s time of the year again! A time of tournaments and TV, massive couch potatoing and a general dumbing down of fatherly responsibilities. All in the name of sports.

This ancient paradox filled the minds of the great philosophers Aristotle, Plutarch, Macrobius and Anaximander who all considered it a “great and weighty” problem. Not sure what else was going on back then, but even 2000 years later, it has not been satisfactorily solved. A Newer Paradox […]
Did you think that 2017 was a wild year? Me too. In so many ways, the improbable became reality. And, I have to admit, this includes science: It was a breathtaking year for epigenetics research. If you recall, epigenetics is the study of how our genes are switched on and off and is a field […]
