- Additional information
- This work is acknowledged to be the first to disentangle the complex 3D fluid flow around a human spermatozoon, directly from microscopy, in terms of an analytical solution [“The 2020 motile active matter roadmap” review]. Upscaling cell-level details to populational models is only now possible. This resulted in an endemic media reaction (BBC, Daily Mail, Huffington Post, over 50 worldwide). Subsequently, this led to invitation as keynote speaker at Fertility 2018, largest conference in human fertility, and the prestigious British Science Festival. This culminated in my membership at the Science Media Centre, aimed at accurate scientific information in the media.
