In this episode of Periodically, hosts Manami and Charlie are joined by Dr Jenny Maunder, a physical chemistry-based lecturer at the University of Durham. As a senior demonstrator, Jenny provides a unique perspective on the impact of menstrual health on both students and staff. The trio discuss the importance of training for demonstrators, focusing on understanding menstruation and potential strategies for making menstrual health a less taboo topic.

About the hosts:

Charlie: Hi, I’m Charlie and I am a postgraduate student in inorganic chemistry. I am really passionate about EDI work within chemistry and when the project was proposed looking into the impact of periods in chemistry, I was really excited to be involved!

Manami: Hi, I’m Manami and I’m a third-year undergraduate student at Oxford. I am really passionate about this project because my period has affected my degree and I would like others in this situation to not feel alone!

We want to talk about all things periods and how they affect our daily lives as chemists at Oxford. We would love to here your views and opinions:Follow us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterFollow us on InstagramFollow us on LinkedIn

Açıklama

Periodically, the podcast that covers all things periods and chemistry!

Each week, over this series of six episodes, we here at the University of Oxford will be taking a deep-dive into just how periods have affected us in tutorials, exams, labs and just generally studying at undergrad. We want to talk about how periods can sometimes just get in the bloody way!

Periodically is funded by the Royal Society of Chemistry Equality and Diversity fund.
