    This year, the BIRCWH abstracts have been grouped into nine categories with the following number of abstracts, from highest to lowest: Public Health (12), Reproductive Health (10), Sex and Gender Differences (9), Health Disparities (9), Cancer (9), Neuroscience (8), Clinical Research (7), Basic Research (6), and Bioengineering/Bioinformatics (3). The number and quality of abstracts centered on Public Health and Basic Research has increased this year, indicating a growing focus on women's health and the influence of biological sex on health and disease in these important areas. Specifically, several abstracts in these categories focus on maternal morbidity, perinatal health, and how biological sex and gender transition impact health and disease. The meeting will include the 2024 Ruth L. Kirschstein Memorial Lecture by Abbey B. Berenson M.D., MMS, Ph.D., and the 2024 Legacy of Leadership Lecture by Nina F. Schor, M.D., Ph.D.
