Subject: [Gendered Innovations] Some research of note

Dear Gendered Innovations colleagues, I only see a fraction of the interesting research in this field. If you have articles or have found something truly excellent, please send it along to me.  It is exciting how much is going on in sex, gender, and intersectional research across disciplines! Happy
New Year!             
Participation of transgender and gender diverse persons in cardiovascular clinical trials
R Stamatiou, G Kararigas
American Heart Journal Plus: Cardiology Research and Practice, 2024•Elsevier
Transgender persons face increased risk in developing cardiovascular diseases due to administration of hormonal therapy used for gender expression, or due to the presence of other risk factors, such as minority stress and difficulty to have full access to health care. Even though the need for gender
diversity in research has been identified, the number of clinical trials including transgender persons remains low. The aim of this study was to
