If you’ve ever scratched your head (or shaken your fist!) at the gender gap in scientific research, this episode is required listening. Christine Yu, the author of the about-to-be-published Up to Speed: The Groundbreaking Science of Women Athletes, is the guest. Along with hosts Sarah and Amanda, Christine discusses: 

-the staggering gender disparity of sports science research; 

-practical ways that gaps in sports science affect women; 

-being part of the “golden age” of books aimed at women runners; and,

-why she has hope for the future of scientific research on women.

In the intro chitchat, Amanda and Sarah commiserate about being injured. Christine joins the conversation around 9:45.
