Menstruation in field environments by Millie Bompard https://padlet.com/milliewatts82/h9vrp0cg2ljmrkwx This board is to share good practise, tips and suggestions on how to manage menstruation whilst taking part in fieldtrips/fieldwork. This padlet will be available to anyone, and form part of the training package developed on www.GAEA.ac.uk, a NERC supported online learning platform. We will be filming a video intended for training all trip leaders and students on the importance of understanding menstruation when discussing toileting in the field. This video will be freely available to everyone. The script is in development, and you are welcome to contribute.
