In the beginning of our second day at FHI 360, we jumped in full force. We began the morning with an intense lecture on the process of human procreation, or in simpler terms, sex ed. It was quite interesting, and needless to say, I thought I knew much more than I actually did.
After this, we went up to the fourth floor balcony for a nice lunch and also had a chance to walk around downtown Durham. The Durham Bulls were in the middle of a game, so we had a chance to watch!
After our break, we met with various scientists and researchers at FHI to learn about disparate methods of contraception. We learned about the feasibility, effectiveness, and acceptability of various types of contraception, as well as how each of these factors differed depending on a certain culture. All in all, it was a very fulfilling, educational day!
