Join us for an enlightening episode featuring Marion Dugue, a geophysics master student and analogue astronaut. In this episode, Marion opens up about the unique challenges women face during scientific expeditions in survivalist conditions, particularly the pressing issue of the lack of menstrual products suitable for extreme environments, including space. Marion has confronted this issue head-on, pioneering a prototype for a menstrual product designed to function in zero gravity. This innovation isn't just about aiding women in their participation in scientific expeditions; it might also unlock valuable medical applications through the collection of menstrual blood during prolonged space missions.
In this episode, we'll explore Marion's research on menstrual blood in zero gravity and her role as an analogue astronaut. We'll also delve into the broader issue of gender imbalances in expeditions.
The tracks played during the episode:
1. Fly Me to the Moon, by Astrud Gilberto
2. Walking on the Moon, by Roseaux and Aloe Blacc
3. Space Girl, by Frances Forever
