Today (28 May) is Menstrual Health Day, a day for raising awareness of periods and the issues faced by those who have them. A fitting day, then, for the second of my graphics produced in collaboration with the PERIODically podcast, this time looking at the chemistry behind intrauterine devices to prevent pregnancy.
The PERIODically podcast won the Royal Society of Chemistry’s 2024 Horizon Prize for Education “for sparking discussion around the challenges menstrual periods create for people working in higher education, acting as advocates to help remove stigma and drive change towards greater equity.”
You can find all of the episodes of PERIODically on their website. There’s also our previous graphical collaboration, on the chemistry of the menstrual cycle.
