Male Fish on the Pill: Effects of Human Pollution in Natural Streams

Join us for a fascinating lecture about how human birth control pills can affect fish in the wild. Scientists have documented alterations in male minnows exposed to common contraceptive ingredients found in our waterways. The chemicals can alter the hormones in fishes' blood, the growth and health of their organs, and even courtship and other social behaviors. These changes could harm their ability to reproduce, potentially changing the dynamics of their entire population.
