A helluva ride: Women’s brains and what we’re learning
Description
Women's health is finally getting the attention it deserves!
Join us for an engaging evening of science-based conversation, with researchers who can explain what we know, what we're still learning, and why it matters for women’s health at different stages of life.
Together, we'll examine some big topics: from endometriosis and pain, hot flushes and menopause to healthy ageing, and the connection between brain circuitry and brain health.
Our panel of experts brings together renowned neuro-researchers Associate Professor Rosemary Brown and Dr Jenny Clarkson and brilliant neuro-psychological researcher Dr Ashlee Berryman, alongside the Neurological Foundation's own Kerry McLeod, who brings a real and relatable layperson’s voice to the conversation.
Bring a friend and be part of the conversation. It's free, but seats are limited, so reserve your spot today.
