Male rat brains are "normal" and the "text book standard". Female rat brains are "moody", “unpredictable", "hormonal" and can't be trusted when it comes to procuring reliable data in the study of health science. Now... does this sound like some patriarchal bullsh*t? Yeah, we thought so too. This week the guys are joined by Dr. Rebecca Shansky who has poured a lot of work into trying to change the narrative in neuroscience when it comes to how the scientific community views the differences between male and female brains. The gender bias has left us with some pretty undesirable results when it comes to medicine efficacy and more. A fascinating conversation with a lovely individual!
