DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately this talk has been cancelled due to speaker illn
 ess. We will reschedule for the new year! Apologies for any inconvenience.
  \n\n\n\nAbout 20 years ago my research into brain mechanisms of emotional
  memory drew me into an issue about which I previously had zero interest: 
 Sex influences on brain function. As I started to recognize the issue’s 
 enormous importance\, I switched my laboratory focus towards exploring\, r
 ather than ignoring\, the issue. I also began more general efforts to help
  neuroscience move past its biases (all of which I had shared) and recogni
 ze that ignoring the issue\, while perhaps once defensible\, is no longer\
 , and what is more\, that ignoring the issue must disproportionately harm 
 women. Twenty years later the biases against the issue remain strong among
  many\, yet the situation has also changed irreversibly for the better. As
  I like to put it\, neuroscience has turned a corner that cannot be unturn
 ed. I will try to capture where neuroscience was on the issue (and how it 
 got there)\, where it seems to be today\, and why I believe the issue is h
 ere to stay.
