Reubs Walsh (They/them or She/her)

PhD Candidate, Faculty of Behaviour and Movement Sciences, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam

My PhD is in the role of the social environment and social-cognitive development in mental health risk in adolescents. Next year I will take up a postdoctoral position at the Einstein lab in the University of Toronto, where I will investigate the contributions of various biological and biopsychosocial processes related to sex and/or gender to the healthy ageing of brains, using a gender-diverse sample and a mixture of qualitative, behavioural, biomedical and (principally) multimodal neuroimaging methods to begin to disentangle these effects. We hope to be able to shed some light on the role of social and biological correlates of gender in cognitive ageing and dementia, as well as emotional brain-health in older adults, and opportunities for improvements in trans-specific healthcare, especially in older adults
