Dr. Kate Womersley, psychiatrist, Research Fellow at The George Institute for Global Health, and leader of the MESSAGE project (Medical Science Sex and Gender Equity), joins us on this episode to discuss sex and gender equity in medical research. She explains why research funders are such powerful levers for change, how pregnancy can act as a “stress test” revealing medical misogyny, and why sex- and gender-informed science leads to better care for everyone, not just women. Dr. Womersley also talks about how her own experiences of pregnancy, motherhood, and clinical psychiatry fuel her push to make sex and gender a new basic standard in biomedical research.
