society promoting the study of sex as a biological variable. OSSD is a diverse community of basic and clinical researchers who address the impact of sex and gender on health, disease, and fundamental biological processes. As support for science and health
care are in flux, it is more critical than ever that we come together to share our work, collaborate, and discuss the future of sex and gender differences research.</span><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
