IronWomen – Getting Up to Speed with Christine Yu

In this Episode

This week we had the pleasure of welcoming Christine Yu to the podcast! The recent publication of her book “Up to Speed – The Groundbreaking Science of Women Athletics” has us very excited about her approach to the science behind many sports science topics, specifically with women in mind.

We got to hear about her insights from her recent attendance to the Female Athlete Conference, where she heard from athletes like Mary Cain about their experiences with doctors and those in the general field of science not having a baseline understanding of women in sport. She also told us about why she thinks scientific literacy is important for society as a whole, as well as the dangers that research bias can pose for women.
