Women’s Health Blog

What is the Women’s Health Blog?

The Women’s Health Blog publishes bi-weekly content to demystify the complexities of women’s health research while celebrating the multifaceted experiences of women and gender-diverse individuals worldwide. Our blog features two types of posts:

Our Research Blog is a platform where experts share evidence-based information on diverse topics relating to women’s health or sex-and-gender-based research. These short summaries make it easy for you to understand and interpret research that could otherwise be difficult to access.

We also have a Behind the Science series, where we share Q&A interview-style posts that strive to inspire new and diverse professionals to enter the women’s health field by highlighting the remarkable work being accomplished by communities historically underrepresented in academia and beyond. These posts, by individuals from varied backgrounds, prove that anyone can be a women’s health champion.
