Curious why flowers were chosen to represent women’s heath on this cover @science.org? None of the other issues this year appear to use symbolic or decorative imagery. What exactly do flowers have to do with the science of women’s health and anatomy?

Procter & Gamble’s Menopause Test Kit Is A ‘Fraud,’ Lawsuit Claims
A urine stick test isn’t the best way to determine a woman’s menopausal status.
"It’s particularly egregious as a women’s health product to be deceiving about what it can and can't do and could prevent women from getting proper treatment."

Read the whole thread. Most of my research would be airbrushed out of all funding and publication in USA right now. NB good luck doing epidemiology research without the word 'bias'. #academicsky #episky

We’re running a study about MS and menopause. People with MS helped to shape our research questions and to develop and test our new questionnaire about menopause and MS.
Slide is a quote from Jenny, a person with MS who was involved in the research. She said: “An occupational therapist once told me that she didn’t realise Black people had MS. I would hate to think that the same type of ignorance existed around menopause. It’s important for Black women’s voices to be included in this study”
Slide is a quote from Francine, a person with MS who was involved in the research. She said: “I
think this research is really important because menopause can have a big impact on women’s lives. It could really help other people that are going through similar symptoms, and help everybody understand what we are going through as people with MS and menopause.”
Find out more in our new MS Society blog post, written with Maria and Úna who helped to shape the study. There is an image from the blog post which reads: Improving care for people with MS through menopause and beyond”
Our #MS and #menopause @ukmsregister.bsky.social questionnaire will be closing soon - huge thank you to everyone who has taken part so far!
We spoke to some of the #pwMS involved in the study about why research into MS and menopause is so important. See our MS Society blog: tinyurl.com/587h9tez

One of my favourite (2-yearly) conferences - International Society of Critical Health Psychology - will be in Galway at the start of July next year... Great speakers, great community, great chance to learn what's at the cutting edge of (critical) health psychology!

The image is a slide titled “MS & Menopause”. The slide reads: There is still time to take part in our questionnaire! Find out what people with MS have to say about our ongoing study…

We’re running a study with the UK MS Register. We want to find out whether MS gets worse faster after menopause [image of a graph showing a red line getting steeper after a point labelled “menopause”]… and whether the severity of someone’s menopause symptoms can affect their MS.
A quote from Jenny, a person with MS, reading “A huge number of women with MS are now at an age where they are either approaching menopause, going through it, or have already been through it. It will affect a high percentage of us. Taking part in research is about helping others with MS. Sharing is caring”
A quote from Una, a person with MS, reading “By taking part in this study you will be helping to improve the knowledge of medical and nursing staff who advise and support people with MS, but also your own knowledge as a person with MS who might go through menopause.
This is really valuable.”
There's still time to take part in our #multiplesclerosis and #menopause questionnaire with @ukmsregister.bsky.social! Help us learn about the impact & experience of menopause for #pwMS
