A Collaborative, Interdisciplinary Feminist Lab
We are dedicated to generating feminist concepts, methods and theories for scientific research on sex and gender.
Through research, teaching, and public outreach, we work to advance the intersectional study of gender in the biomedical and allied sciences, counter bias and hype in sex difference research, and enhance public discourse surrounding the sciences of sex and gender.

Gender/Sex and COVID-19
What’s Really Behind the Gender Gap in Covid-19 Deaths?
Our newest paper was published in Social Science and Medicine. It’s the first longitudinal study to quantify variation in COVID-19 gender/sex disparities across U.S. states.
Check out our paper in Nature, which dismantles a prominent sex difference claim regarding the immune response to COVID-19
