In this December 2021 episode of the Unexplainable podcast, health experts and journalists outline the barriers to women's health research.

Men and women experience health issues differently and often have distinct symptoms for the same disease.

Biomedical researchers primarily include white men in their studies. This has led to a lack of information about how women and minorities experience illness and respond to treatments.

In the Unexplainable podcast, host Noam Hassenfeld investigates science's unknowns.

Unexplainable's December 2021 episode, How Medicine Mansplained Women's Health, featured doctors, journalists, and health professors. They explained why women have been left out of biomedical research and what that means for patients today.

This Unexplainable episode explores the history of biomedical research in the U.S. and the legislation that attempted to bring women and minorities back into the picture.

Guests on this episode offer their expert advice on how scientific journals and the research community can be more inclusive moving forward.
