DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\nVeronica Guadagni\, PDF\, University of Calgary
 \nPresentation Title: Sex and gender differences in sleep quality\, empat
 hy and mood during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Females and woman suffered the m
 ost.\n\n@VeronicaYYCGuad\n\nBio: Originally from Italy Veronica obtained 
 a Master in Neuroscience from the University of L’Aquila. She moved to C
 anada in 2011 to start a PhD in Brain and Cognitive Sciences in the Depart
 ment of Psychology at the University of Calgary. In June 2017\, she  join
 ed the Laboratory of Human Cerebrovascular Physiology as a Postdoctoral Fe
 llow. Since then she has been working on findings from the Brain in Motio
 n I (BIM) study looking at effects of a six-month aerobic exercise interve
 ntion on sleep\, brain health\, and cognition. She is currently involved i
 n the data collection and analyses of the new randomized controlled trial 
 (Brain In Motion II). recently Recently she developed an interest in the i
 nvestigation of sex and gender differences in sleep and cerebrovascular re
 gulation. Veronica is supported by an Alzheimer Society of Canada Researc
 h program (ASRP) Postdoctoral Fellowship\, and by the O’Brien Institute 
 Centre of Aging.\n\n\n\n\nKayonne Christy\, Masters student\, University o
 f British Columbia\nPresentation Title: Investigating racial disparities 
 in maternal health: An intersectional\, cross-national examination of Blac
 k women's experiences of prenatal care\n\n@KSchristy1\n\nBio: Kayonne is a
  second year masters student in the department of Sociology. She completed
  her undergraduate training at McMaster University\, where she received he
 r B.Sc. in the Life Sciences and B.A in the Health Studies (summa cum laud
 e). Her research interests exist in the nexus between race\, gender\, clas
 s and health. Broadly speaking\, Kayonne is interested in the structural d
 eterminants of health\, and the interplay between social and health inequi
 ties. She is particularly interested in the use of Black feminist thought 
 to better understand (and address) contemporary racial health inequities.\
 n\n\n\n\nKiranjot Jhajj\, Masters student\, University of Northern British
  Columbia\nPresentation Title: Investigation into the Effects of Ovarian 
 Hormones on Differential Learning Strategy Recruitment\n\nBio: Kiranjot i
 s a 1st year MSc student in the Psychology program at the University of No
 rthern British Columbia. She completed her undergraduate studies at UNBC t
 his year\, earning a BSc Honours in Psychology. Her research interests inc
 lude the influences of sex and gender in biopsychology. Under the supervis
 ion of Dr. Annie Duchesne\, Kiranjot will be looking into the effects that
  ovarian hormones may have on the recruitment of learning strategies.\n\n\
 n\n\nRachel Zsido\, PhD Candidate\, Max Planck Institute for Human Cognit
 ive and Brain Sciences\, Germany\nPresentation Title: Shifting the male de
 fault setting in human clinical models: Investigating cortical excitation-
 inhibition balance as a biomarker for individual SSRI responsivity in wome
 n\n\n@RachelGZsido\n\nBio: Rachel is a third year PhD candidate in cognit
 ive neuroscience at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain
  Sciences. She completed her undergraduate training at Harvard University\
 , where she studied the influence of ovarian hormones on psychological and
  neural correlates of fear conditioning and extinction in women suffering 
 from anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. Her research now focuses 
 on how ovarian hormones and the serotonergic system interact to influence 
 brain microstructure and neurochemistry across the female lifespan\, and t
 he implications that these interactions have for depression susceptibility
 \, resilience\, and treatment.\n\n\n\n\nElise Wiley\, Masters student at M
 cMaster University\nPresentation Title: Exploring gender-based difference
 s in exercise self-efficacy in individuals with stroke.\n\n@EliseWiley7\n\
 nBio: Elise completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Miami
  in Exercise Physiology. She is currently in the final stages of completin
 g her MSc in Rehabilitation Science at McMaster University under the supe
 rvision of Dr. Ada Tang. Elise’s research interests include examining se
 x-and gender-based differences in physiological and psychosocial markers o
 f cardiovascular health in individuals with stroke.\n\n\n\nFor more inform
