The Making of a Movement In collaboration with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Bowers WBHI curated a special issue on women's health for Science Advances journal (International Women's Day 2025 release date). The initiative has also partnered with the Women’s Brain Health Coalition, and the WHAM Research Collaborative to drive the national and international agenda on women’s health research. Additionally, Bowers WBHI has worked with organizations like the 51Foundation, Women in Data Science, and MIT’s DHIVE program, ensuring the next generation of scientists and entrepreneurs can tackle pressing questions in women’s brain health. Locally, Bowers WBHI is advising Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara on expanding its women’s health service line, with plans to feature female brain health in their 2026 research symposium. Building off its 2023-24 successes, WBHI’s momentum continues to grow. “If we do this right, this won’t just be a moment for women’s brain health,” Jacobs said. “This will be a movement.” ◆
