What: A deep-dive podcast from WBUR on how menstrual blood can “unlock health secrets beyond the female reproductive system.”

Why it matters: Period blood has been under-researched for years, but the women interviewed—including Dr. Bethany Samuelson Bannow, doctor and researcher at Oregon Health and Science University who specifically researches the anti-coagulant properties of menstrual fluid, and Dr. Sara Naseri, founder of Qvin, which makes a diagnostic menstrual pad called QPad—are changing the game.
