YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"When scientists fail to examine how treatments operate differently in males and females, we all lose, every one of us." Bronwyn Graham
Historically, periods of forced isolation have served as catalysts for enormous human achievements. William Shakespeare composed his best sonnets and plays, Isaac Newton developed his most influential theories… but behind every genius is often an invisible woman who history has forgotten.
Unfortunately, history isn’t the only place women are overlooked. When you receive a vaccine, or take antibiotics, you assume that the intervention is going to be both safe and effective for everyone – but for women, this assumption can be false.
Most clinical trials do not conduct even a cursory examination of sex differences in safety or efficacy, so why do we continue to relegate women into the background?

What can we learn while we are apart? Short talks from isolation.
In a year that has tested our resolve, and has seen our lives change profoundly, UNSW researchers reflect on the lessons we can learn from our socially distanced world.
If we take heed of these lessons, can we improve our lives for the better and hold onto the things we value most? These lessons can be the silver lining to all this disruption – and can help us thrive, not merely survive in challenging times.
In this series, hear from nine UNSW researchers as they explore what we can learn during this time of isolation and change.
A UNSW Centre for Ideas and Grand Challenges program collaboration.
