The Male Contraceptive Initiative launched their “Lemonade Stand” discussion series as a way to bring the male contraception research community together in a virtual space during the COVID-19 pandemic, “making lemons into lemonade by connecting and sharing.” The webinar series covers a variety of emerging questions from the field to drive the advancement of male contraception from clinical trials to market, including the regulatory process, manufacturing process, funding, market research and more.
