What do you think life would be like if men ejaculated 117 foot-long sperm? Just ask the small fly Drosophila bifurca-males of this species produce the longest sperm in the world, six centimetres long and twenty times the length of the male’s body. The sperm are normally coiled up into tight bundles, no doubt making insemination considerably easier on the females.
We would like to acknowledge that The Varsity's office is built on the traditional territory of several First Nations, including the Huron-Wendat, the Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit. Journalists have historically harmed Indigenous communities by overlooking their stories, contributing to stereotypes, and telling their stories without their input. Therefore, we make this acknowledgement as a starting point for our responsibility to tell those stories more accurately, critically, and in accordance with the wishes of Indigenous peoples.
