I’m so grateful to my mentors and colleagues, especially @ritahamad.bsky.social and everyone at the SPHERE Center, for teaching me so much, supporting me, and cheering me on! I love doing this work and I’m so thrilled to continue it at Tufts.

I’m so excited to announce that I’m joining the Tufts School of Medicine as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Public Health and Community Medicine this summer! It’s a dream come true to join an interdisciplinary department that does important policy-relevant work around health disparities.

This video is a great explainer of work from the @genderscilab.bsky.social that highlights how inappropriate denominators (e.g., people in a population v. people who are prescribed medications) can skew our understanding of gender health disparities.

Does women’s health need sex-specific algorithms? In a paper just out in Big Data & Society (bigdatasoc.bsky.social) we at the GenderSci Lab warn against the growing use of so-called “pink” and “blue” algorithms, arguing that they risk embedding biological sex essentialist assumptions into medicine.

Hot off the press! See our new paper: “Three maxims for countering sex essentialism in scientific research” in the journal Biology of Sex Differences. We show how sex essentialism distorts research & propose 3 ways to avoid making these mistakes. (1/12) rdcu.be/eNcRM

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death internationally, and the US fares worse than many peer countries. Increasing gender equality may be one way to improve population health.

Figures depicting predicted values of CVD outcomes for men by state-level structural sexism values and racialized identity.

We also found that the relationship varied across racialized identity, with most harm felt by Black and White people.

Image shows a screenshot of the first page of the article, State-Level Structural Sexism and Cardiovascular Disease Outcomes in the United States, published in Social Science & Medicine

Our new study shows that living in states with higher levels of structural sexism was associated with worse cardiovascular disease outcomes for both men and women, especially for diabetes and stroke.
