Hi everybody, So last week we began the sex talk from a healthcare point of view, and raised the fact that most people start having sex a lot later than you’d expect from high school banter.

What did the particle physicist say when he went to the heavy metal concert? “Wow, it seems the participants of the mosh pit behave intriguingly like gas molecules!” Take note, young grasshoppers; the science doesn’t stop when you leave the lecture theatre.
