Very happy to announce our paper! "Sex mechanisms as nonbinary influences on cognitive diversity" A pleasure to contribute to this special issue of Hormones and Behavior about how to be less binary and more inclusive in behavioral and cognitive neuroscience www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Figure from our paper about nonbinary interpretations of sex differences in cognition, describing two suggestions. First, consider assessing strategies instead of performance, and second, consider whether sex impacts are variable and mosaic

The Human Body Is Bags, Bags and More Bags

Your brain might be like a computer, and your digestive system like a tube, but in the end, your whole body is just a bag full of bags
