Aloha 🌺 from Kona, Hawaii!! #OSSD2026 pre-meeting focused on integrated women’s health: brain, body, and behavior starts NOW!

Did you know? A Western diet harms liver health more than binge drinking-especially in males! Combined, they worsen disease risk, highlighting targets for better liver disease diagnosis and treatment. #ossd #sabv #humanhealth Link: physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/EP…

Did you know? In nest box-breeding birds, both sexes sing most before egg-laying. Male testosterone peaks then but doesn’t correlate with song rate. Females have much lower testosterone, suggesting other hormones shape song. #sabv #ossd Article Link: academic.oup.com/auk/article-ab…

Join us this coming Tuesday, April 14th, from 12-1 PM ET for Dr. Sara Hägg's LIVE presentation with a Q & A afterwords as part of the #OSSD Connected Virtual Speaker Series. Free webinar open to everyone! Register for virtual webinar link: ossdweb.org/ossd-connected

@_oatc_ We encourage you to revisit the article with this new information to better understand the researchers’ conclusions.

@_oatc_ Hi oatc, thanks for your comment. It seems some clarification is needed. This study describes findings observed in mice when comparing features linked to biological sex. Gender identification was not explored in these experimental animals, so this conclusion is not applicable...

Did you know? A hormone-responsive gene reshapes brain structure and behavior differently in males and females. These findings help explain why brain disorders can affect men and women differently-and why treatments may need to be sex-specific. #SABV nature.com/articles/s4146…
