In Conversation with Dr. Chloe Bird: Improving Women’s Health by Closing the Evidence Gap
<p>In this episode of Health Dame, Robin Strongin speaks with <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloebird/" target="_blank">Dr. Chloe Bird</a>, professor of medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine and program director of the Center for Research on Women’s Health, Sex Differences and Population Health at Tufts Medical Center.<br /><br />Dr. Bird explains why women’s health research still lags behind, how male bodies are still often treated as the default in medicine and why clinical trials must do more than simply include women. They discuss the need to study how diseases present in women, how women respond to treatment and how gaps in the evidence base affect diagnosis, care, policy, and precision medicine.</p><p><br />The conversation also looks at what it would take to make these gaps visible, measurable and harder to ignore. For Dr. Bird, better science on women’s health is not just about women. It is about improving healthcare for everyone.</p>

Jarrett Brown, Brain Tumor Survivor, Completes First Year of Law School
<p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jarrett-b-912b4427/" target="_blank">Jarrett Brown</a> was diagnosed with a type-2 meningioma in August 2024. He went into brain surgery to remove a tangerine-sized tumor on the same day he was scheduled to take the LSAT. Just 28 days after the surgery, he took the LSAT and is now a second-year law student at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Bowen School of Law. His stated reason for entering law school is that he wants to spend the rest of his life speaking for people who do not have a voice.<br /><br />Before attending law school, Jarrett was a longtime food processing worker. Though he never played football, he likes to say he was a Green Bay Packer because he worked in a packing plant in Green Bay, WI. During the nearly 20 years that he worked in food processing, Jarrett was a workers' rights advocate. He worked on his own, with unions, and with political organizations to advance the causes of individual workers, groups of workers, and the public.</p>
