April 28, 2019

This week on Exposure, Stephanie spoke to Nama from PERIOD @ MSU, the local chapter of a non-profit organization dedicated to destigmatizing, celebrating, and providing for menstrual health and hygiene through advocacy, education, and service. We talked about how she got involved in the greater PERIOD organization and how it started at MSU, as well as how to be an advocate for the menstrual movement. For more information on PERIOD, check out their website!

On The Sci-Files, Chelsie and Daniel talk to Darren Incorvaia, a third year PhD candidate in the Department of Integrative Biology and a member of the Ecology Evolutionary Biology and Behavior Program. Darren studies bumbles, their foraging behavior, and their social environment all working in tandem with one another.
