Nations urged to ‘pick up the ball’ after DEI research cuts Researchers say a lack of funding for studies that focus on sex and gender might also hasten a US brain drain.

Our director, @drmichellekaufman.bsky.social, was interviewed for an article with Nature Index on why sex and gender research is crucial and how other countries are responding to the elimination of funding for this research in the U.S.

I can't tell you how many calls I've had recently where my colleagues end up in tears because they've lost funding, jobs, and were told their life's work on the science of gender is meaningless and does nothing for the American people. My heart is heavy. Check up on your colleagues. They need you.
