Evidence Week in Parliament

  • Tweet
Monday, 14 November, 2022

This week is Evidence Week in Parliament where Sense about Science has partnered with the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology to host a series of discussions and briefings with MPs.

I was really pleased to meet a team from the University of Southampton to hear about their research titled “Bias in Bones” which promotes the integration of sex as a variable into skeletal health and research policy to improve gendered health inequalities.

The Project Team has a list of objectives, which include improving the participation of men and women in research studies and trials, investment in the development of novel personalised therapies, and addressing bias which exists in preclinical and clinical skeletal study design by funding research where both sexes are investigated and appropriately reported.

It was fascinating to hear about their work first hand, and to have a challenging discussion about some the issues around medical research and sex, and the evidence it may provide us in a range of different spheres.
