An #NIH-supported study found that children who had low sugar exposure in utero and during the first two years of life later had a reduced risk of developing #diabetes or #HighBloodPressure. bit.ly/3CzdkHD

It's been 8 years of #SABV, but >30y since NIH mandated incorporation of women in NIH-funded clinical trials. Yet how many papers examine whether or not sex/gender makes a difference? ~5% (~20% use sex/gender as a covariate (removing any effect not learning from any effect).

Today is #WomensHealthResearchDay! Jan 25 marks the anniversary of the implementation of the NIH Policy on Sex as a Biological Variable #SABV in 2016 and serves as an opportunity to reflect on how far women’s health research has come – and how far we have to go.

Ethan had a great day visiting my work this past Thursday for bring your child to work day. He learned all about being a scientist and wrote some important terms here on my white board 😊 He also kept a tally of how many coworkers he met ☺️ @JoannaStabile
