No Brain Behind is the official podcast of the Society for Equity Neuroscience (SEQUINS), a global initiative committed to advancing equity in brain health. Each episode features conversations with leading researchers, authors, clinicians, and advocates working to understand and address inequities in neurological care and outcomes. From the cellular to the societal, we explore how nervous system health is shaped by factors like race, geography, and socioeconomic status. With a focus on equity neuroscience, a transdisciplinary, public-interest science, we shine a light on both emerging research and the people driving change. Whether you’re a scientist, student, policymaker, or simply curious, this podcast offers a deeper look at how we can move toward more just and inclusive brain health systems. Because when it comes to the brain, everyone matters.

Bridging Barriers: Advancing Stroke Research & Equity for Women
In this episode of No Brain Behind, Dr. Gitanjali Das speaks with epidemiologists Dr. Virginia Howard (University of Alabama at Birmingham) and Dr. Matt Reeves (Michigan State University) about the disparities in stroke care and research for women. The conversation explores several key areas, including how current stroke prevention and treatment guidelines address women-specific risk factors, the challenges and progress in developing stroke risk scores, barriers to women's enrollment in clinical trials and potential solutions, and the groundbreaking work of PROWESS (Prevention and Outcomes in Women Enhancing Stroke Support), an international interest group dedicated to advancing research on women's stroke care. They also share valuable advice for junior researchers entering the field and discuss the current landscape and future directions for stroke research and women's health.
