Yesterday was #EqualResearchDay, created by Evvy to raise awareness in the holes in scientific and medical understanding of the female body. I'm fairly well-researched on this topic so familiar with some of the facts Evvy have shared, but seeing them written in black and white makes my jaw drop every time. They are a true highlight of how behind we are on diagnosing and treating women for both female-specific and gender agnostic conditions. Interested in learning more? Check out my interview with Pita Navarro, who shared the journey of Evvy in navigating through these challenges, and the crucial role that #data and #research play in shaping the future of women's health.
