the promise of the bank was a bit of a failure since by the time you’ve gotten so very old that a Nobel could’ve been awarded you are also so old your sperm is lower quality; etc.
This suggests a better way of establishing a eugenic sperm bank: approach the recipients of early-achiever awards such as Peter Thiel’s 20 under 20. And perhaps also encourage these people to mate with each other (if they aren’t doing so already).

Yeah, targeting younger scientists is, IIRC, what the sperm bank basically ended up doing.
Such people wouldn’t bother—babies would be a major burden, and can wait.
