Back home in DC after a lovely week in the beautiful San Diego. 🤗☀️ The week started with two days at the Women's Health Executive & Research Summit (HERS). Left with a full notebook, so many new connections, and a sharper sense of why this work matters more than ever.

At every turn in my career, I’ve seen a similar pattern of women's health treated as a footnote. Underfunded. Underresearched. Misunderstood. Misresearched.

But! I left this summit feeling so inspired and hopeful that things are changing!

In my current job, I've had a front-row seat to how policy shapes what gets funded, what gets studied, and ultimately what gets treated. The science is there, but the policy infrastructure hasn't prioritized it.

That's what I've been working to change, and it's what pushed me to build something beyond the lab.

Because we need to be advocates AND owners.

Also, I love my new uterus pin so much. 🥰🥰
