WIFI Enabled Laptops may be Nuking Sperm

I think this is not related to MR at all, but just in case you're concerned by the headline:

The article is awful. First says they have found a difference of a 9 % on a sample of ONLY 29 men (WTF!?), and then follows: "At present we do not know whether this effect is induced by all laptop computers connected by Wi-Fi to the internet or what use conditions heighten this effect."

But there is more. Conrado Avendano is a known PR of Nascentis Medicina Reproductiva (Argentina). It's not the first time I read some stupid news with his name.

There has been -and still is- a lot of research about the potential harm of current levels of electromagnetic radiation on live cells, and the results show no effect whatsoever until today.

Check the Base stations and wireless technologies fact sheet, and the more recent Electromagnetic fields and public health: mobile phones, both from the World Health Organization.

TL;DR: Don't worry, your balls are OK. And don't read science on newspapers.

I will immediately start using my laptop more often.

I think I may get rid of my desktop computer when I get home.

god I wish that one of the many reversible male birth control methods were available.
