For years, sex differences were overlooked in research. NIH’s Sex as a Biological Variable (SABV) policy helped change that. Now, some say it’s no longer needed—is it too soon to move on?

@docbecca.bsky.social explores this for @thetransmitter.bsky.social

Even in the absence of formal instruction to do so, we should continue to hold ourselves and our neuroscience colleagues accountable for “Sex as a Biological Variable” practices, writes @docbecca.bsky.social.
