Being my 6th day at FHI360, I have really gotten into the groove of things. We have 3 or for 4 meetings per day and work on our multiple projects during our free time. Today we learned about a new contraceptive method called micro-needle patches. These patches would release birth control, similar to an injection, but less painful and without hazardous waste. Also, the patches would be easily inserted, and could even be put on by women themselves. This would be a huge leep in contraceptive technology, for the patch would be as small as a coin and as easy as putting on a bandaid! We were shown three different designs on how the micro-needle would work, ranging from an arrowhead to bubbles.
During our free time, we worked on more visuals for our video. This involved drawing a map of the world with “FHI workers” in partnered countries (see image).
