On the other hand, waiting until you have your Ph. D. to begin breeding carries other risks.

Are there risks other than age-related rise in mutational load? My cousin waited to have kids until she finished her microbiology PhD, and they seem to be doing fine.

Does the age-related mutational load issue even kick in before 30 to a significant degree?
