I wrote a piece for @thetransmitter.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/sex-differen... With the fate of NIH-funded research uncertain, it is extra important that the work we do now is most likely to benefit everyone. Adhering to SABV in the lab and in grant & paper review is the right thing to do.
Amid NIH upheaval, how to keep sex as a biological variable
Even in the absence of formal instruction to do so, we should continue to hold our colleagues accountable for SABV practices.
