In this inaugural episode, we sit down with Drs. Bruce Ovbiagele and Lilyana Amezcua, president and vice president of the Society for Equity Neuroscience (SEQUINS), to explore the origin story of the organization. They share the driving forces behind its creation, the urgent need to address inequities in neurological health, and how SEQUINS is building a global community around equity neuroscience. From grassroots initiatives to international collaboration, we’ll dive into the programs shaping the society’s mission. Our guests also reflect on the challenges posed by recent shifts in the health equity research funding landscape, and what it means for the future of the field. Tune in to learn how SEQUINS is striving to make brain health truly equitable, one connection at a time.
