The complexity of female sex hormones calls for more science, not less

Women were historically excluded from health studies on the grounds that hormone fluctuations introduced "noise" into the data, and this has left us with a lack of understanding about a range of conditions

WOODHEAD, DERBYSHIRE - MAY 11: An aerial view of Woodhead Reservoir amid low water levels on May 11, 2025 in Derby, England. United Utilities, a water utility in north-west England, warned customers to consume less water as they announced that regional reservoirs were at 69% capacity. Last year at this time, reservoirs were at 90%. The utility said there was a "medium risk" of drought, but presently there were no plans for a hose-pipe ban. (Photo by Ryan Jenkinson/Getty Images)
