Coincidentally, March is Endometriosis Awareness Month! Maybe up to 10% of women ages 15-50 have endometriosis (over 170 million people worldwide), with a staggering array of potential symptoms (and a variety of severities). Due to its complexity and our long history of sexism in science and medicine, endometriosis is something we still have a lot to learn about, but we cover a lot of what we do know in this week's episode, so that you can know it too!
This episode features a promo for Everything I Learned From Movies, a movie discussion podcast (with beer involved too)! Check it out at https://www.ageofradio.org/everythingilearnedfrommovies
