Sexism in Science & Disparities in Women's Heart Health
In her new book, How Science Got Women Wrong and the New Research That's Rewriting the Story, Author Angela Saini examines the male-dominated sphere of science and punches holes in some of what we've accepted as fact for decades. In her conversation with The Agenda, she busts biases that have dictated the common narratives in evolutionary biology, neuroscience, psychology and pharmacology. Then, Heart disease is the leading cause of premature death in women. So why do the majority of them miss the early warning signs of heart attacks? Joining The Agenda to discuss the deadly consequences of the gap in women's cardiac health care are Thais Coutinho, a cardiologist with the University of Ottawa's Heart Institute; Sherry Grace, a senior scientist with the University Health Network and a professor at York University, and Paula Harvey, director of the Cardiovascular Research Program at Women's College Hospital.
