Alumnae on BBC News
We are so proud to congratulate Maryam Moshiri and Professor Sarah Berry, both SCHS alumnae, for their inspiring appearance on BBC News together! The segment highlighted findings from the world’s largest menopause study, which revealed that a healthy diet can significantly improve symptoms. Professor Sarah Berry, from King’s College London, shared powerful insights about the historical underrepresentation of women’s health in research, shedding light on the challenges and progress in this critical field. Maryam Moshiri, as the anchor, led the discussion with her usual expertise, creating an engaging and thought-provoking exchange.
Sarah’s words resonated deeply: “Historically, men’s bodies were considered the norm, and women’s bodies atypical. Including women in research was banned until 1995 for safety reasons. Additionally, considering the menstrual cycle and menopause increases research costs.”
This is such an important conversation, and we are thrilled to see two of our alumnae at the forefront of it. Their contributions to journalism and science are truly inspiring! Catch up on their discussion via BBC News or follow the links below:
