Mind the Gap: Hormonal Contraceptives and Brain Health — Session 13: Trainee-Mentor Networking Session
March 16, 2023, 11:00 am to 12:00 pm
This is the last of four trainee-mentor sessions that is part of our virtual "Mind the Gap: Hormonal Contraceptives and Brain Health" conference, which brings attention to the brain health issues that women+ face and encourage the medical, scientific and commercial communities to address them.
These sessions are offered through a collaboration with the CIHR Institute of Gender and Health Trainee Network and intend to provide trainees with the unique opportunity to meet and engage with sex and gender experts through informal conversations on diverse topics, including professional development and research. In this session, we will be joined by Harlan Pruden to discuss how to end anti-Indigenous racism in research and the academy.
