Great work here. So important not to rest on our tiny laurels—there’s work to do to drive this paradigm shift forward. Policy shifts aren’t enough, we need intergenerational buy in!

Very proud of this paper and the team of undergraduates and graduate student Celena Cherian who did the work 🤩 We can all work together to increase consideration of biological sex in biomedical and clinical research CIHR Institute of Gender & Health Women's Health Research Cluster Women's Health Research Institute
