On #InternationalWomensDay we’re celebrating scientific breakthroughs that will improve the health and well-being of people around the globe. Like Marlena Fejzo’s discovery of the cause of severe morning sickness… (1/2)

THRILLED to see this SI now out addressing the power and potential of focusing our lens on women. H/t to Tali for making space for these ideas to flourish and for a dream team of investigators to contribute!! Advancing the science of women’s health | Science Advances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Join us Mon 3/10 for a roundtable discussion addressing best practices and emerging opportunities in human brain imaging and how they can advance the study of women’s brain health.

Incredibly grateful to @cziscience.bsky.social for this second award supporting our work in AI for women’s brain health @bowers-wbhi.bsky.social !🌟 The WBHI advances healthcare for all by developing inclusive AI on multi-modal biomedical datasets that include phenotypes relevant to women's health.

Despite rapid advancements in AI and biomedical research, data that includes phenotypes relevant to women’s health is scarce, contributing to algorithmic bias and limiting breakthroughs in healthcare. With the @bowers-wbhi.bsky.social and @cziscience.bsky.social , we change the status-quo!

Join the WBHI seminar on Monday 2/10! Dr. Russ Poldrack (@russpoldrack.bsky.social), Albert Ray Lang Professor of Psychology at Stanford University, will discuss the power of open science in advancing women’s brain health. Join us for his talk, Leveraging Open Science for Women's Brain Health👇
