Since its inception, the biomedical sciences have centered the male body as the paragon of biology, often casting aside the female body as "unknowable." Dr. Emily Jacobs' lecture considers the intersection between gender equity in STEM and the status of women’s health - not as concurrent phenomena, but connected ones.
She examines critical ways in which progress in women’s health has stalled from lack of female representation in biomedicine, including neuroscience. She'll end by highlighting emerging research programs, public policy changes and private sector funding opportunities that position the female body as equal to the male, and by doing so are opening up new frontiers for understanding health and disease.
