Shout out for the New Scientist January Issue

[EvaHarknessRose]

No share links sorry because I don't have an online subscription, but I always find it startling and enjoyable when newspapers and magazines DO present articles about or relevant to the health of half the population as though they were just, um, normal and of mainstream interest. Not niche. Not part of a special issue. But promoting much needed and overdue research into female health.

One about Endemetriosis:

And one about doctors not understanding where the nerves leading to the clitoris actually are:

Just in case anyone doesn't know; many libraries allow you to access magazines online using your free library membership.

I use mine to read New Scientist, The Economist, and many others on my tablet.

Starts off with a clear and accurate statement:

One in 10 women live with endometriosis, but we still don’t know its exact cause.

Goes on to say:
When people with the condition menstruate, these patches of cells, wherever they are, bleed.

Who have the condition? Any 'people' in particular?
