The science of catching up: sex difference research renaissance
Hi, it's me, the girl who tried to wash her duvet in her apartment washer/dryer and ended up going to bed with 50 blankets to stay warm because it wasn't dry, Santina Duarte. Since last week was all sex, I wanted to talk a bit about the gaps in women's research and why we are currently in the girliest scientific renaissance known in existence. In this episode, I dive into the dumpster fire that is women's research, why researchers have never explored female health, and how that is affecting women everywhere. I dive into controversies, misdiagnoses, and all the times science did us ladies dirty, so buckle up and get ready to get angry at the male scientists of yore with me. As per usual, I release a new episode every Monday at 7:00 am EST. You can find me on all podcast platforms and on Instagram at @theplasticitypodcast. Thank you so much for another week of listening, and this week, honestly, do yourself a solid and dive down the rabbit hole that is Phyllis from the Sotheby's auctions. Ladies, gentlemen and all my non-binary friends, I want to be her when I am older.
