In the first episode of the BLOOD: Life Uncut podcast series we ask: is Sickle Cell Anaemia a black disease? We consult a Haematologist, a Clinical Psychologist and Chantelle Pierre, blogger and sickle cell carrier, about the associations the disease carries... even in the medical world.

What Happens When We Talk About Periods? (Ep. 2)

In the third episode of BLOOD: Life Uncut we consider menstrual stigma and its effects on people who do and don’t have periods. We speak to the “vaginal knitter” Casey Jenkins, Chloe Tingle from No More Taboo, and leave you with some words by trans-gender spoken word artist Travis Alabanza. Listen out for some striking music by ACM in their song TRaNsRoSeTtA. Tweet any related thoughts and experiences @SciGalleryLon #BLOOD17, we’d love to hear from you!
