POSTCARD SPERM FATHERS MOUSE BABIES

Scientists in Japan have sent each other postcards containing freeze-dried mouse sperm, and were then able to produce viable mouse offspring with the sperm that landed in their mailboxes. This was the first time it was proven that freeze-dried mouse sperm can be preserved in a thin plastic sheet, instead of conventional glass ampules. The experiment could transform the way that sperm from many different species is transported, pioneering applications for “infertility treatments, livestock production, maintenance of strains of genetically modified individuals, and conservation of genetic resources, including those of endangered species.” The study was published on iScience.
* And here my Uncle Chet got arrested for pretty much the same experiment. Go figure.
* The mail comes through again.
* It kinda changes the meaning of a “sack of mail.”
* As if your husband isn’t mailing it in already.
* Just gotta hope nobody mistook the white powder for, like, Coffeemate.
* Or cocaine.
