 Event 1- We're All Living in the Estroworld

4/22/2022 - James Hepp

For my first event in this class, I was able to attend a virtual zoom meeting titled, We're All Living in the Estroworld run by Mary Maggic. From this meeting, I was able to take away a lot of valuable information. Before the meeting, I read the bio of what the meeting was going to cover, and a lot of the information sounded new. Mary has done many experiments in society that has deepen her understanding of estrogen which made her very knowledgeable about this topic. I was impressed by how much of her time she has devoted to learning and researching this topic. 

One of the experiments she conducted was taking urine samples of patients and offering a new way to create transgender medication. She said that she was able to make a video that explains ways to create this substance through the estrogen found in urine. I thought this was very interesting because I didn't know that was possible. 

One thing that stood out to me was how she kept talking about how us humans are always changing, evolving, and adapting to society as time goes on. This idea is very relevant in what we are learning this quarter, especially what we have learned the last week. This past week, I wrote about the technological developments in the medicinal field. This directly correlates to what Mary had to say today about our society. She mentioned that as time goes on, our bodies are always changing to our environment. Because our bodies, mindsets, and aspirations are so fluid, it requires a society where adapting is common.
