[Subtítulos al español pronto] This is part of a series about scientists from all over the world :). Today Morgan P. Johnston (Instagram: @askaneuroscientist ; KZfaq ‪@AskANeuroscientist‬ ) talks about her work. She is a PhD student at the University of Texas San Antonio, United States, and is passionate about studying the female brain. Women have been historically underrepresented in research, and this has real consequences when diagnosing and treating diseases. Manifestations of disease might be different in women and we might not get the right help. At the same time, if the male brain is "the norm", the female brain might be seen as "abnormal" or "too hormonal", which also is problematic. We talk about current steps that are being taken in this direction. Morgan also gives valuable advice to young students towards the end, and talks about the content she makes in her own neuroscience KZfaq channel.
