Emergency Menstruation Products Available in Stirling Hall
The Department of Physics, Engineering Physics, and Astronomy alongside the McDonald Institute are delighted to launch a pilot project offering emergency menstruation products in women’s and gender neutral washrooms on every floor of Stirling Hall. You may notice white boxes installed in the washrooms with pads and tampons, these products are available on a “Need one? Take one!” basis.
GEMINI-P
Gender Minorities in Physics (GEMINI-P) is a student-led group supported by the department. It is open to membership from all department members, and seeks to educate about, and improve the quality of life, research, and education for those in physics and related fields who experience additional barriers due to their gender.
Founded in 2020, GEMINI-P is currently chaired by Ezri Wyman (she/her or they/them) and Becca Van Drunen (she/her). Our faculty advisor is Laura Fissel (she/her).
