02 - ELSI Dialogues: Sex and Gender in Biomedical Research - Visualising the Complexity of Sex Determination

The "Sex and Gender in Biomedical Research" webinar series, is "Visualising the Complexity of Sex Determination".The speaker, Amanda Montañez, explains the webinar as follows:At Scientific American, we communicate the latest and most important information about science, health, technology, the environment, and society to the public. We often use information graphics to help illuminate complex ideas that are hard to explain fully through words alone. A few years ago, as part of a special issue on sex and gender, I led the development of a graphic on the spectrum of biological sex, a fascinating topic that I had not seen visualized before and turned out to be even more complex than I had imagined. In this talk I will explain the process of how the graphic was developed, what I learned, and how this project fits into my work as a graphics editor at Scientific American.Theme music used with kind permission: 'i need a cup of coffee and some bread for wake up' by In Love With A Ghost
