The Guardian article on scientist’s tattoos presents this photo with the following commentary, straight from the owner’s mouth:
“I’m an evolutionary biologist who investigates the evolution of sperm form, sperm-female interactions and sperm competition. So… yeah, it’s pretty much about sperm,’ says Scott Pitnick, an associate professor at Syracuse University.”
My hypothesis is that the gigantic tattoo swimming up Pitnick’s arm will ward off any chance of “female interactions” for the real thing.
