Returning from the Sustainability Research Innovation Congress #SRI2023 to say whoa, what a great space! 🌿

A space where society comes first, research second.
A space that elevates #Indigenous voices.
A space where I needed a translator.
I'm exhausted & #grateful

Heavy periods are common. What can you do, and when should you seek help?

Around a quarter of women experience heavy periods. It probably seems normal to them, but it’s not something you just have to put up with.
