Inspired by Israel’s culture of casual intellectualism and night life learning, the JCC East Bay is excited to bring back Science Bar! In this series, you have the opportunity to learn from Israeli scientific experts while enjoying delicious drinks and nosh.
Dr. Gotlieb’s talk is entitled Women’s Health 101. From puberty to menopause, women’s bodies are constantly changing, but there’s no emphasis on the importance of body literacy. Join us in breaking the taboos to talk about menstrual cycles and hormones across different reproductive chapters. We’ll discuss questions like: How is the brain related to menstrual cycles? Why is the menstrual cycle considered a vital sign? How can reproductive health serve as a window to overall health?
