Mechai Viravaidya

South Africa

On October 11th, 2002, Professor Short presented the lemon juice story to an audience of 200 scientists from 35 countries attending the International Spermatology Conference in Cape Town in South Africa. The work was widely reported on South African TV, radio, and in print in the Mail and Guardian and the Sunday Independent.

Based at the University of Melbourne, Short is also professor-at-large at Cornell University in the United States, and a visiting fellow of Green College, Oxford. His career began in England at Cambridge in 1956. He was co-editor and principal author of the eight-volume Reproduction in Mammals published by Cambridge University Press from 1972 onward, which was translated into six languages.

He has published more than 300 scientific papers and, with Dr Malcolm Potts, wrote a bestseller aimed at the layman: Ever Since Adam and Eve: The Evolution of Human Sexuality (1999).

Short's interest in the transmission of HIV infection arose naturally from his research activities of the past 20 years, which focused on contraception, the evolution of human reproduction and the causes of the Earth's over-population.


Professor Roger Short

United States of America

Dr Malcolm Potts, Professor of Population Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, has provided invaluable help and advice to Professor Short and his team.
