Menstruation animation helps shed light on a touchy topic
A new educational animation that debuted at the Museum of Science in Boston over the summer aims to give parents and children the chance to learn about menstruation—a topic that parents sometimes shy away from and that young people may have limited knowledge about. The animation was produced by researchers in the lab of Shruthi Mahalingaiah, assistant professor of environmental, reproductive, and women’s health at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and educators at the Museum of Science, supported by a grant from our Center.
