A Rant: I am getting so tired of my grants being rejected because I don't study males. The WHOLE point of #SABV #SGBA is because we didn't know enough about how things work in females. now we can only study females if we study them with males? 1/.

Frank also helped me in many ways.& I wasn’t even in his department or university. He was always so giving of his time. I find it difficult to believe he is truly gone. The world is a little bleaker without him.

@FSohrabji What are the possible causes of sex differences in stroke outcomes. Sex and sex-specific factors could account for differences. Different memory domains are differentially affected.

Women more likely to get Broca’s aphasia but Men more likely Wernicke’s aphasia. It may be due to a variety of reasons. 5th leading cause of death in men but 3rd most common cause of death in women!! We need to study stroke in women!! @FSohrabji
