PhD candidate researching sport-related concussion in female athletes. All opinions are my own.
I'm pivoting to advocacy/policy work as I finish my PhD and thanks to the @scopepolicy.bsky.social New Media Course, I worked outside my comfort zone and learned a lot (including how to improve next time).

Anyone not convinced that brain-related research needs to be analyzed to allow for potential sex differences? Personalized neurological care depends on it!
Studying sex differences in the human brain is challenging, but important.
Many thanks to @emilysingerneuro.bsky.social & the fab folks @thetransmitter.bsky.social for inviting me to contribute to the evolving conversation on this timely topic ⬇️

Although studying sex differences in the brain is complex, it is essential. Armin Raznahan @bogglerapture.bsky.social explains why ignoring different patterns of risk for brain-based conditions among males and females does us all a disservice.

Brains, biases and amyloid beta: Why the female brain deserves a closer look in Alzheimer’s research
New results suggest the disease progresses differently in women, but we need more basic science to unpack the mechanisms involved.
