SEX, GENDER, & NEUROSCIENCE
TRAINEE-LED CONFERENCE
Why Balancing the Brain?
Sex and gender are critical factors in neuroscience research, yet they remain underexplored in many areas. The Balancing the Brain Meeting brings together trainees and established researchers to discuss, debate, and advance our understanding of these important dimensions in brain science.
As a trainee-led initiative, we aim to foster the next generation of researchers committed to rigorous, inclusive science.
