Great piece by @scigat.bsky.social in @wewillcure.bsky.social on how precision medicine inherited the male default — featuring my Science Advances commentary. Cure article: wewillcure.com/insights/wom... Commentary: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

How Precision Medicine Inherited the Male Default

Genomic tools trained on decades of male-dominated data can read female biology as low risk. Startups are building their own datasets to fix it, but researchers say the deeper problem runs through the...

My conversation with Robin Strongin on Health Dame podcast is up. Thanks to @ccfamilies.org for sharing it. We dig into why only 8.8% of NIH funding addresses women's health, the 95x ROI we found for women's CVD research, and what funders, journals, and institutions can do to close the evidence gap.

In clinical research, male bodies remain the default. Why? Chloe Bird, @ccfamilies.bsky.social member, was featured on the Health Dame podcast to discuss the structural gaps in women's health research and what can be done to effect change and improve lives. ⬇️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggHd...

Question: who uses Mendeley and what do you use it for? I’ve relied on Endnote and wonder if I am missing something.

Proud to have advised SWHR on the new National Strategy to Close the Women's Health Gap—a $20B, 10-year, bipartisan framework spanning research, regulation, data, workforce & public education. Women spend ~25% more time in poor health than men. swhr.org/national-str... #womenshealth #healthequity

Our Science Advances Focus piece has 2,390 downloads! This isn't about fairness—it’s about scientific rigor. Biomedical evidence is heavily overfit to men’s health. We cannot build precision medicine on an imbalanced data foundation. Co-author: @dr_alibrahim science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aei0515

Precision medicine’s blind spot: Rebalancing the evidence base to reflect women’s health

2,000+ downloads in 3 weeks! The response to our Science Advances commentary shows the research community is ready to stop treating the male body as the default. It's time to translate this evidence into policy and practice. Join us in driving change. 🔗 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @aaas.org

A timely and incredible must see @aspenideas.bsky.social session with @katiecouric.bsky.social, Carl Bernstein and @johndickerson.bsky.social followed by a showing of “All the Presidents Men.”

A functioning democracy & trust in institutions are essential for evidence-based policy — including investment in science. Excited for this @aspenideas.bsky.social session. My work to close the gaps in women's health science depends on a commitment to evidence-based policy. 🔗 Session link below ↓

Vital discussion on the lack of research in women’s health at @aspenideas.bsky.social with @katiecouric.bsky.social & Dr. Sharon Malone. This directly connects to our commentaries in Science Advances & Ms. Magazine, and our current work visualizing these data gaps in medicine—starting with CVD.🫀📊

Great energy and conversations here at @aspenideas.bsky.social #AspenIdeasHealth! From tech to policy, there is enthusiasm for using data to make hidden systemic gaps visible and unforgettable. Grateful for the many creative minds I've connected with so far!

An excellent session Aspen Ideas Health on Leadership and addressing health crises and disinformation. Session details in comments. #AspenIdeasHealth

Staying in the mountains through the main #AspenIdeas Festival! 🏔️ Our @ScienceAdvances piece on gaps in science on women’s health is about making the gaps visible & unforgettable. 🗺️ Let's grab coffee on campus to talk data mapping for action & impact! ☕ Link: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Closing the gap requires moving past the "male default" in data. Our new piece in Science Advances tracks this macro blind spot, while our Ms. Magazine feature on PCOS shows the real-world diagnosis gaps it causes. We must fix both! 📑 science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aei0515📰 msmagazine.com

Closing the women's health gap could add $1tn a year to the global economy by 2040, give every woman ~7 extra healthy days a year, and return ~$3 for every $1 invested (WEF & McKinsey Health Institute, 2024). Health and wealth are linked. womenshealth.world

Our new commentary with examines precision medicine’s blind spot due to insufficient and incomplete work on women’s health. We offer practical steps to accelerate scientific progress and turn the tide from falling further behind on women’s health to closing the gaps. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
