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 our community.
