What: Biden and Berry visited the University of Illinois-Chicago as part of the White House’s initiative on women’s health research. The university research is specifically focused on hot flashes and sleep, and how estrogen affects the brain.
Why it matters: As Biden put it – “”Every woman will be affected by menopause; yet, there’s a stunning lack of information about how to manage and treat its symptoms. UIC is working to change that.” And Berry said: ““I get asked this question all the time, what brought me to this critical and very important work? And I think I am no different than any other woman right now who reaches their menopausal years or perimenopausal years and they felt like, what the heck is happening to me?”
