“I’ve seen how small changes, like simply including females in male-designed rodent studies, can lead colleagues to adopt better practices.
There’s still room to grow, but meaningful change often begins with simple, manageable steps rather than treating it as a burden.”

This week, we share an interview with Dr. Nicole Gervais, Assistant Professor at the Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences and Co-Lead of the Neuroscience and Behaviour subgroup within Working Group 3 of the EU-SABV COST Action.

WG2 connects laboratory research with clinicians and industry to ensure SABV improvements translate into real-world health outcomes.

By aligning research priorities with clinical needs, WG2 supports the translation of sex-inclusive research across the research pipeline.

The EU-SABV Working Group 2 has launched its activities with a kick-off meeting, led by Dr. Claudia Barth, Dr. Nikolaos Kokras and Dr. Christina Boyle.

WG2 connects laboratory research with clinicians and industry to ensure SABV improvements translate into real-world health outcomes.

By aligning research priorities with clinical needs, WG2 supports the translation of sex-inclusive research across the research pipeline.

At EU-SABV, we believe that integrating Sex as a Biological Variable is part of building a scientific future where everyone is represented and where the next generation of researchers can thrive.
#WomenAndGirlsInScience #EUSABV #SABVinAction

Supporting girls in science means building research environments that are inclusive, evidence-based, and reflective of biological diversity from the very beginning.
We are especially grateful to the women scientists within EU-SABV who lead, mentor, and help shape the next generation of researchers.

Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science- a moment to recognize the women advancing science today and the girls who will shape its future.

By strengthening education and capacity building, WG4 supports the correct and consistent implementation of sex-inclusive research.

Working Group 4 of the EU-SABV COST Action has held its kick-off meeting.
WG4 focuses on building practical SABV skills through training, workshops, and accessible learning resources across disciplines.

“Female rodents have often been excluded from preclinical research because analyzing the estrous cycle is challenging. One of our goals is to provide hands-on support so researchers can account for these fluctuations properly.”

This week’s Meet the Team interview features Dr. Leena Strauss, WG3 Co-Lead (Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology). She discusses how hormonal biology shapes experimental design in sex-inclusive research.

“I am passionate about understanding women’s health and how males and females are both similar and different, and how reproductive stages such as pregnancy and motherhood can add to those differences.”

This week’s Meet the Team interview features Dr. Jodi Pawluski, leader of Working Group 5- Communication, Dissemination and Outreach. She shares why understanding sex differences across life stages is essential for better health and better science.
