Words can't describe the energy in the room at the Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative launch, so I'll leave the heavy lifting to this short film. Humor can subvert, enrage, empower & educate. So take a look and then let's get to work. tinyurl.com/AnnSBowersWBHI

Good news: Neuroscience is having a moment. Bad news: Only 0.5% of research focuses on women's brains... The Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative, centered at @UCSantaBarbara, is driven by a radically simple idea: Progress in neuroscience will flourish when the health of men and women are valued equally. piped.video/tX5uczeISOQ?si=f_u9…
