0:00.0	Thank you so much for coming down here and doing the show and sharing some of your
0:11.5	insight and some of your work with us. It's very fascinating and terrifying at the same time.
0:15.5	Your book has a very dystopian vibe to it. I'm not going to lie. The countdown. How our modern world is
0:23.0	threatening sperm counts, altering male and female reproductive, wow, easy for you to say.
0:29.3	Reproductive development and imperiling the future of the human race. How did you first discover
0:35.4	that this was a problem and that some of these chemicals and plastics were actually threatening the future of our species?
0:45.1	Before I go into that, I just want to thank you, Danny, for inviting me and for being a wonderful host.
0:51.2	And I'm so happy to be here and talking to you and people who are
0:55.4	listening about this important problem. So how did I get into this? I have to say that, you know,
1:03.8	way back in the middle 90s, I knew nothing about endocrine disruption or thallates or any of this.
1:14.6	I was completely ignorant.
1:16.6	And I got asked to sit on a committee, a federal, you know, a committee called the National Academy of Sciences, kind of a big deal.

1:31.7	so usually in those committees there's people who take one position and the opposite position
1:36.9	and the people in the middle who are neutral and I was a neutral although they didn't say that
1:42.5	explicitly that was clear when I got there. And so I was
1:47.9	completely open. I had never heard of endocrine disruptors or their effects or their purported
1:55.4	effects. And so the goal of this committee was to determine whether these chemicals, which can impact the body's
2:05.5	hormones known as endocrine-discrupting chemicals, whether those are actually something that
2:10.6	we need to pay attention to, right?
2:14.4	So I love challenges. I love puzzles. And I thought, wow, this will be fun. And I'll meet new people. And yeah, I'll do this. And one of the first things we did was to look at this paper that had come out a few years earlier out of Denmark. And this paper was
2:35.8	alarming because it said that sperm count had dropped 50% in the prior 50 years. Okay? It came out in 92.
