A New York Times article published this week focuses on the environmental impact of disposable menstrual products and approaches to make more sustainable choices. Dr. Susan E. Powers, director of the Institute for a Sustainable Environment, was quoted for her expertise in the impacts from the entire lifecycle of these products. The original research, which was done by Amy Hait, BS EnvE’17 as part of her honors thesis, was published in the journal Resources, Conservation & Recycling in 2019 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.2019.104851) and summarized in an article in the The Conversation in 2021. Summarizing research in the Conversation was a great way to connect this research expertise to journalists looking for experts.
