My comment about open research and qualitative methods is out! I argue that open research needs to take seriously the notion that "rigour" looks different for different methods and can learn from qualitative traditions. It feels very apt to be at #QMIP2025 for this publication day rdcu.be/evEpk

"Endometriosis is more than a health challenge. It is a lens through which we can understand broader issues around gender, health and work"

Left unsupported, endometriosis can bring misery for the women who suffer it – and it can damage their careers and workplace wellbeing.

There’s the biologists’ view of ‘biological sex’ – which is that it’s extremely complex and multifactorial.

And then there’s the UK Supreme Court’s understanding – which might better be called ‘political sex’, conveniently turned into a binary in support of the patriarchy.
