Subject: [Gendered Innovations] Research of interest and a couple of announcements
From our Korean colleagues—then see more articles, etc., below the announcement.
We would like to invite you to the Bridging the Gap: Advancing Research Excellence Through Key Biological, Social, and Data-Driven Approaches webinar series, co-hosted by the Korea Center for Gendered Innovations in Science and Technology (GISTeR) and the Caucus for Women in Statistics and Data Science (CWS).
In this upcoming webinar, we will be joined by two international experts to bring together biological and social perspectives with data-driven approaches, offering an opportunity to consider how we can reduce bias in research and move toward more inclusive and responsible research practices.
Climate, Gender, and Sexual and Reproductive Health-Intersectional Approaches and Evidence
R Dabash, S Nasir, S Dijkerman, WR Sheldon… - 2026
