Hello!
A sudden question: If someone frequently misses class because of "headaches," how would you feel? Would you think, "I push through even when I have a headache..."?
What one person considers "fine" may be "very difficult" for another. Conversely, what you find "difficult" may be "not so bad" for someone else. This event offers content designed to encourage reflection on individual differences in pain perception and the importance of empathy for others.
As the first installment of this event series, Science Tokyo—celebrating one year since integration—will address the theme of "menstruation" for the first time. The event will feature an exhibition by TSUMURA & CO. that visualizes the impact of menstruation and PMS-related symptoms on daily life, as well as the menstrual pain simulation device "Periodnoid" (provided by Linkage,Inc.), offering an opportunity to experience "invisible health issues" such as pain. Please feel free to join us!
Important Notes
• The menstrual pain simulation experience is limited to the first 70 participants (students have priority). Numbered tickets will be distributed at the reception desk. Faculty and staff may participate if space is available.
• Those wishing to experience the menstrual pain simulation should wear separates (top and bottom), as the pad will be applied directly to the skin.
• The event exhibition (excluding the menstrual pain simulation experience) is open to everyone! Please feel free to drop by.
• You are free to join partway through or leave at any time during the event hours.
*This event will be conducted in Japanese only.
