Podcast appearances

12/07/20, “27 – Biology of Sex”, Do We Know Things? Episode summary: “This episode of Do We Know Things? examines the things we are often taught about the biology of sex differences. It is definitely a science-nerd episode, but it focuses on biases in research that affect half the population! In particular, I wanted to address the oft repeated lore that ‘female is the default sex.’ I am joined by brilliant biologist and gender studies professor, Dr. Anne Fausto-Sterling, one of my research heroes!” Click here to listen to the podcast and read the script here.
