About this episode
This episode features interviews discussing feminist perspectives in stem cell research and menstrual blood cells.
Hi! I’m Fernanda Mariath, a pharmacist with a master’s degree in Scientific and Culture Dissemination. Also, I’m part of the Mundaréu Podcast, which focuses on telling stories about feminist Latin American researchers. As part of my dissertation, I produced the series Feminista In Vitro. In this podcast series, I will take you from the inside to the outside of a cell. And starting with the organelles, the tiny little parts inside them, I’m going to tell you about menstrual blood cells and bring you feminist discussions in stem cell research. Feminista In Vitro is already available in Portuguese on Mundaréu’s website with a transcription in pdf. But, as part of this journey, I also did some interviews in English with Professor Sarah Richardson, the pHD student Hannah Cowdell, and Professor Malin Ah-King. This episode is an audio collage of these interviews. I hope you enjoy it! Extra Transcription WESTER, Fernanda Mariath Amorim.
