BBC News - UK scientists tackle the taboo subject of periods in polar research

Certainly, menstrual freedom should extend to all areas of Earth, but especially extreme and pristine environments like the Artics. However, as important as this issue is, every stakeholder in the #scientificResearch pipeline should be as, if not more, concerned about #SexualHarassment. If #scientificResearch methodology concerns itself with strict avoidance of the smallest chance of #unconciousbias, then that same #methodology should concern itself with the freedoms of all practitioners in the environment in which #science operates, no? #SexualHarassment should not be tollerated anywhere, and the Artics are no exception. If you can't be responsible for your libido without being a #letcher, then you shouldn't go to the Artics. You should go to #therapy.

Yet another argument for more #female lead scientists and administrators. #Scientists, as the educated elite, should be setting an example for others!
