In 2016, to address the historical overrepresentation of male subjects in biomedical research, US National Institutes Health implemented a policy requiring investigators consider sex as biological variable. order assess impact this policy, we conducted bibliometric analysis across nine disciplines for papers published 34 journals 2019, and compared our results with those similar study carried out by Beery Zucker 2009. There was significant increase proportion studies that included both sexes...
Women remain underrepresented within academic medicine despite past and present efforts to promote gender equity. The authors discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic could stymie progress toward parity biomedical workforce limit retention advancement of women in science medicine. faculty face distinct challenges as they navigate impact shelter-in-place social distancing on work home life. An unequal division household labor family care between men means are vulnerable inequities that may develop...
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has introduced acute and persistent psychosocial stressors for many individuals, with emerging gender differences that suggest women may be at greater risk poorer mental health outcomes. This have unintended consequences women's overall well-being, including disruptions to reproductive function as elevated stress is often associated menstrual cycle irregularities. objective of this study was determine if how the COVID-19 its...
This survey study assesses the frequency and nature of harassment on social media experienced by physicians, biomedical scientists, trainees during COVID-19 pandemic.
Objective: On January 25th, 2016, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) implemented a policy requiring investigators to consider sex as biological variable (SABV) within their grant submissions. We surveyed NIH study section members in 2016 and 2017 determine attitudes toward perceptions regarding its implementation. Materials Methods: Members standing sections special emphasis panels who met May, June, or July 2017, had publicly accessible e-mail address, were invited participate survey...
Background Sex and gender are key variables which inform human health disease. It remained unclear how sex were considered, evaluated, reported, or analyzed within Covid-19 research. This article evaluates the proportion of Covid-19-related articles highlighted sex- gender-specific content examines associations with author gender. Materials methods Article records for 134,008 publications indexed in LitCovid database extracted on June 1 st , 2021. Metadata such as publication year, names,...
A bacteriophytochrome from Stigmatella aurantiaca is an unusual member of the family that devoid hydrogen bonding to carbonyl group ring D biliverdin (BV) chromophore. The photodynamics BV in SaBphP1 wild type and single mutant T289H reintroducing show strength this particular weak interaction determines excited-state lifetime, Lumi-R quantum yield, spectral heterogeneity. In particular, decay faster absence hydrogen-bonding D, with half-lives 30 80 ps for mutant, respectively....
Phytochromes are red-light photoreceptors that were first characterized in plants, with homologs photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic bacteria known as bacteriophytochromes (BphPs). Upon absorption of light, BphPs interconvert between two states denoted Pr Pfr distinct spectra the red far-red. They have recently been engineered enzymatic photoswitches for fluorescent-marker applications non-invasive tissue imaging mammals. This article presents cryo- room-temperature crystal structures...
Twenty-five years ago, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Revitalization Act 1993 mandated inclusion women in clinical research (1), following decades misconceptions surrounding women’s health and reversing previous guidelines preventing childbearing age from participating early-stage (2). Many us held tight to belief that this requirement would usher a new era discovery where consideration female sex become routine experimental practice both basic sciences. Yet today, 25 later, remain...
The practice of science outreach is more necessary than ever. However, a disconnect exists between the stated goals for and its actual impact. In order to examine one potential source this disconnect, we undertook survey-based study explore whether barriers participation (either intrinsic or extrinsic) in exist within academic community. We received responses our survey from 530 individuals, vast majority whom engage some type activity on an annual basis. Those who report doing so both...
Many postdoctoral fellows and scholars who hope to secure tenure-track faculty positions in the United States apply National Institutes of Health (NIH) for a Pathway Independence Award. This award has two phases (K99 R00) provides funding up five years. Using NIH data period 2006-2022, we report that ∼230 K99 awards were made every year, representing ∼$250 million annual investment. About 40% awardees women ∼89% went on receive an R00 annually. Institutions with most produced recipients...
Abstract The neuropeptide kisspeptin (Kiss1) is integral to the advent of puberty and generation cyclical LH surges. Although many complex actions Kiss1 are known, mechanisms governing processing/regulation this peptide have not been unveiled. metallo enzyme, endopeptidase 24.15 (thimet oligopeptidase), has demonstrated play a key role in processing thus duration action reproductive neuropeptide, GnRH, which signals downstream Kiss1. Initial silico modeling implied that could also be...
Objective: To determine the impact of gender-specific conferences or symposia as it relates to medical professional development. Materials and Methods: An online survey instrument was distributed nationally through social media shared by respondents. The assessed participants' demographics, attendance at symposia, motivations barriers attendance, perceived benefits attendance. Results: Of 792 respondents, 34% had attended a conference for women in medicine, whereas 66% not. Attendees were...
Clinical case reports circulate relevant information regarding disease presentation and describe treatment protocols, particularly for novel conditions. In the early months of Covid-19 pandemic, provided key insights into pathophysiology sequelae associated with infection described mechanisms outcomes. However, are often subject to selection bias due their singular nature. To better understand how biases may have influenced Covid-19-releated reports, we conducted a bibliometric analysis...

The impacts of science are felt across all socio-ecological levels, ranging from the individual to societal. In order adapt or respond scientific discoveries, novel technologies, biomedical environmental challenges, a fundamental understanding is necessary. However, antiscientific rhetoric, mistrust in science, and dissemination misinformation hinder promotion as necessary beneficial component our world. Scientists can promote literacy by establishing dialogues with nonexperts, but they may...
