In the Womb video!

Hey everyone!  Did you like the In the Womb video? I was surprised to learn that sperm are the smallest cells in the human body, while the egg is the largest.  If you are interested in knowing more about sperm, there is an excellent podcast by the people from RadioLab (a weekly science program on NPR).  Frankly, all their content is really good, so don't be afraid to check it out.
