🧠 Sex is often treated as a binary in #neuroscience, #psychology & #psychiatry, but this oversimplifies the realities of sex & gender - their impact on the brain. Our guidelines provide recommendations for rethinking how sex & gender are analysed. Webinar on this topic coming soon! 📖 loom.ly/VqIa8zw
