“…Recommendations have been compiled by women in STEM ( 40 ), specialists in distinct fields [e.g., women in immunology ( 41 )], or international agencies such as UNESCO ( 42 ). Moreover, recommendations have been systematically reviewed from national reports ( 43 ), and synthesized from conferences focusing on specific fields [e.g., women in neuroscience ( 44 )]. Commonly, surveys are used as effective tools to distill recommendations, such as those on gender transformation in global science provided by the International Science Council (ISC) and collaborators ( 45 ).…”

Historically, biomedical research has been led by and focused on men. The recent introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in this area has further proven this practice to be discriminatory for other sexes and genders, more noticeably for women. To move towards a fair AI development, it is essential to include sex and gender diversity both in research practices and in the workplace. In this context, the Bioinfo4women (B4W) program of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (i) promotes the participation of women scientists by improving their visibility, (ii) fosters international collaborations between institutions and programs and (iii) advances research on sex and gender bias in AI and health. In this article, we discuss methodology and results of a series of conferences, titled â€œSex and Gender Bias in Artificial Intelligence and Health, organized by B4W and La Caixa Foundation from March to June 2021 in Barcelona, Spain. The series consisted of nine hybrid events, composed of keynote sessions and seminars open to the general audience, and two working groups with invited experts from different professional backgrounds (academic fields such as biology, engineering, and sociology, as well as NGOs, journalists, lawyers, policymakers, industry). Based on this awareness-raising action, we distilled key recommendations to facilitate the inclusion of sex and gender perspective into public policies, educational programs, industry, and biomedical research, among other sectors, and help overcome sex and gender biases in AI and health.

“…Discourses about diversity, equity, and the representation of women have been at the forefront of social and institutional conversations worldwide ( Clark and Hurd, 2020 ; Berryhill and Desrochers, 2021 ; Cortes, 2021 ). The year of 2020, accompanied by the COVID-19 pandemic and its restrictions, further highlighted racial and gendered inequalities ( Cortes, 2021 ).…”

“…The year of 2020, accompanied by the COVID-19 pandemic and its restrictions, further highlighted racial and gendered inequalities ( Cortes, 2021 ). The disparities that emerged in career stability for women during the pandemic emphasized the need to create policies in the social and work world to navigate diversity, equity, and inclusion fruitfully ( Berryhill and Desrochers, 2021 ; Cortes, 2021 ; Machlovi et al, 2021 ). The scientific field must join in the societal shift toward evaluating cultures and practices to balance structural inequities.…”

There has been increased cognizance of gender inequity and the importance of an inclusive and diverse approach to scientific research in recent years. However, the innovative work of women scientists is still undervalued based on reports of fewer women in leadership positions, limited citations of research spearheaded by women, reduced federal grant awards, and lack of recognition. Women have been involved in trailblazing work that paved the way for contemporary scientific inquiry. The strides made in current neuroscience include contributions from women who deserve more recognition. In this review, we discuss the work of four women whose groundbreaking scientific work has made ineffaceable marks in the neuroscience field. These women are pioneers of research and innovators and, in addition, contribute to positive change that bolsters the academic community and society. This article celebrates these women scientists, their substantial impacts in neuroscience, and the positive influence of their work on advancing society and culture.
