Rethinking women's health research for longevity and equality | Jennifer Garrison | TEDxBoston
In this powerful and eye-opening talk, neuroscientist Jennifer Garrison challenges how we think about women's health, longevity, and aging. Highlighting the critical — yet historically overlooked — role of the ovaries, she reveals how ovarian health impacts overall wellbeing far beyond fertility. Garrison explains why ovarian aging begins decades earlier than other systems in the body, how it shapes women’s long-term health risks, and why addressing it is essential for achieving true healthspan equality.She also exposes the deep scientific gaps caused by decades of systemic underfunding and bias in biomedical research, calling for urgent investment, innovation, and advocacy to close the knowledge gap.Whether you're a scientist, policymaker, investor, or simply someone who cares about health equity, this talk makes a compelling case: the future of healthy aging depends on understanding — and prioritizing — the science of ovarian function. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
