About The Speaker
Dr. Emily Jacobs is a leading neuroscientist and Associate Professor at UC Santa Barbara, where she directs the Women's Brain Health Initiative. Featured in Halle Berry's Masterclass “The Magic of Menopause”, Dr. Jacobs is at the forefront of research mapping how women's brains change across major life transitions - from puberty through menopause and beyond.
Her pioneering work combines cutting-edge neuroimaging with artificial intelligence to understand the profound brain changes that occur during pregnancy, menopause, and other critical periods in women's lives. Through her research, she's working to ensure that women's health is no longer an afterthought in medical research.
Conversation Topics
The truth about "pregnancy brain" and postpartum cognitive changes
Menopause and brain fog: What's really happening and what you can do
ADHD in women: Why it's often missed and misdiagnosed
The connection between autoimmune diseases and brain health
How to advocate for yourself in healthcare settings
The future of personalized women's health research
Why This Matters
Women's brain health has been dramatically understudied. While everyone fears cognitive decline, the specific ways women's brains change throughout their lives remain largely mysterious. Dr. Jacobs' research is building the foundation for a future where women's healthcare is based on women's biology - not just extrapolated from studies on men.
This is your opportunity to be part of the conversation that's shaping the future of women's health research and to learn from the scientist who's leading this crucial work.
