When Teresa Woodruff started working for a biotech company fresh out of graduate school, her employer revealed that the first studies for a new heart attack treatment had been performed on 50,000 men. \u201cAnd so I kinda raised my hand and said, \u2018That\u2019s interesting. Where are all the women?\u201d Today, Teresa is an expert in ovarian biology and a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University in Chicago. We ask her why so many prescription drugs were tested only on men for so many decades, what that\u2019s meant for women\u2019s health, and what\u2019s changed. 

Plus, Teresa tells us about Repropedia, her encyclopedia for reproductive health, and \u201cA New You, That's Who\u201d (think \u201cSchoolhouse Rock!\u201d but instead of conjunctions, it's about puberty.)
