Did you know that there were only 3 posters in #PAA2025 on #menopause among all 272 sessions, ~1,000 talks, and 978 posters?

Our DHS‑based findings on menopause timing in South and Southeast Asia sparked meaningful conversations—proof that the interest is there when the topic is given space.

Demographers ability to model the global population ("10 billion by 2050 followed by plateau") rely on DHS surveys. Without them we're blind to large parts of the globe and quality of forecasts will go down. Which is of course a non-issue if planing-horizons don't extend beyond next Friday.
War on Science update: DHS does surveys around the world. It's a key part of how we understand the world. Web of Science has 3501 items that mention DHS in the metadata; currently averaging about 350 per year. The last contract to run it was about $57 million per year. dhsprogram.com/Who-We-Are/N...

It was an amazing experience to present our work at the Understanding Menstruation through Interdisciplinary Lenses Workshop at the University of St Andrews.

It's BLOODY time that LMICs break the silence and talk about Menstruation.
