Rebecca Williams - Go with the Flo: Periods at Work

Rebecca Williams, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

In this blog, Rebecca Williams, opens up about the often-overlooked impact of periods on work and productivity. With a mix of personal reflection and scientific insight, she challenges the silence around menstruation in professional spaces. Highlighting the cognitive and emotional toll of PMS, she argues for more understanding, workplace flexibility, and dedicated research into menstrual health. This honest and relatable piece aims to help normalise conversations that have long been sidelined.

Rebecca Williams is PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Though originally from ‘up North’ in a small town called Leigh, she did her undergraduate and masters at the University of Oxford before defecting to Cambridge for her doctorate researching Frontotemporal dementia and Apathy. She now spends her days collecting data from wonderful volunteers, and coding. Outside work, she plays board games, and is very crafty. @beccasue99
