The importance of female-specific health research

 I am a research assistant in the group of Prof. Dr. Iris Sommer. Although roughly fifty percent of the population is of the female sex, we know remarkably little about women's health in particular. The current research we do aims to contribute to that much needed knowledge, for instance by investigating the role of hormones on mental health conditions. The communication of scientific findings to a broader audience is also something I am very interested in. I believe it is important to engage people outside of scientific communities, as study results inevitably concern us all and should be made understandable for everyone.
