Questions for Round Table Panel

Here are questions we posed in the abstract for the round table panel —

  • What are the key gaps in our knowledge regarding female reproduction?  How can we bridge these gaps?
  • Where might ignoring the female perspective result in misguided conclusions? ex: estrogen and aggression.
  • What terminology is biased or otherwise antiquated and promotes misleading assumptions, ex: fertilization, egg?  What alternatives can we provide, ex: conception, fused gametes, ovum? What are the issues with any alternatives?
  • What are the next big questions in biology as they relate to the female perspective?

Here are questions formulated during the meeting —

  • What new technologies might propel the field? ex: video, fMRI, to study a dynamic uterus.
