In our article, we highlight the consequences of the restricties in academic freedom in the US. We call upon Dutch institutions to proactively protect research into sex, gender and diversity, because ultimately better and more diverse research benefits us all.

Most academics are aware of the developments un the US, but outside of academia many people are not aware of the threats that our US colleagues are facing, especially those working on sex, gender or diversity. These developments pose a big threat to science and healthcare worldwide.

Amazing, congratulations!!

Congrats, this looks great ✨️!

Lastly, I'm a big advocate for better sex- and gender-sensitive research and healthcare, especially in research in psychiatry and mental health. I also have a broad interest in measurement of mental health outcomes, sex hormones, and trans health!

In addition to my work on the Affirm Relationships project, I was recently awarded an @amsterdamumc.bsky.social Startstipendium grant to study premenstrual exacerbation (PME) in depression in a project called the TIDE study. It's still in an early stage, but stay tuned for more news on the project!
