The truth about testicles: are we facing spermageddon?
Meet the man who wants to change all that “I think you can tell it’s for a lay audience,” says Michael Carroll, holding up his book, Your Nuts, its cover illustrated with two walnuts in a string bag.
Key points
- This is not a drill, says Carroll, a biologist and reproductive scientist at Manchester Metropolitan University.
- Or is this an unchosen fertility cliff edge, created by forever chemicals and our lifestyles?
- Are people deciding not to have kids because of climate anxiety and economic precarity?

Additional details
- The book has arrived in tandem with worldwide concerns about falling birth rates.
