Check out work from MCW's Meier Lab on a need for better inclusion of female athletes in neuroimaging/fluid-based biomarker sport-related concussion research. We summarize current research & recommend how to address knowledge gaps. Thanks to co-authors who made this possible! doi.org/10.1177/0897...

Concussion research should consider oral contraceptive (OC) use for more personalized care for females. Check out this work (available via open access) from the Meier Lab at the Medical College of Wisconsin doi.org/10.1016/j.bb... @medicalcollegeofwi.bsky.social

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). Final projects are here: bit.ly/41k5rQ3 #sciencecommunication #sciencepolicy #scopepolicy

For Sex Differences in Health Awareness Day, this editorial highlights two areas of neuroscience research: hormonal contraceptives & Alzheimer’s disease. We’ve made progress but more is needed to create individualized treatments for all! Keep funding science! bsd.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Anyone not convinced that brain-related research needs to be analyzed to allow for potential sex differences? Personalized neurological care depends on it!

Definitely recommend the series for anyone interested in women's brain health research (and who isn't?)!

Interested in hormones & concussion in women? The Meier Lab at Medical College of Wisconsin & the CARE Consortium found participants with concussion had elevated progesterone across timepoints (including pre-injruy baseline) and estradiol changes after concussion. bit.ly/FemaleConcussionHormones.
